Not every "smart" software solution is smart nor is every "AI powered" software having AI.
AI is not a meaningful term.
If you ask people if a piece of software that never loses at tic tac toe is AI, most will say yes. Everyone I've asked that didn't already know why I was asking said yes.
I cannot separate that piece of software from any piece of software.
I've literally had this conversation with the marketing department. It's marketing. Tell me what you want to say is AI, and I'll give you a justification.
I mean, technically, any software with an if-else is AI.
It is if you’re in marketing 😂
For the marketing folks: adding "AI" to your product ad may increase the chance that the pencil pushers will want it, so I get why it may make sense to put it there. But it will make IT folks start with the assumption that your entire product is worthless bullshit that tries to trick people into buying it with meaningless buzzwords. Same for "Blockchain".
If I had a product that actually had a good use for AI/ML, I'd use the most technical term possible to describe it, just to avoid the appearance of buzzword fishing. With blockchain... just invent some new name for it. It's so toxic that people will roll their eyes and stop listening.
Reminds me of block chain tea. Their stock price went up
