    When are we going to stop using the term “AI” to mean “uses a computer”?

      Was it like this back when computers were first made?

      Attach a calculator to a thing and they say it has a computer!

        I can’t remember if it was worded exactly like that, but I do remember something like what you’re describing happening, with everything suddenly computerised. I distinctly remember a TV science presenter looking to camera once and using the phrase “…feeds into the inevitable microprocessor”

    Anything “AI” related to transportation just screams, “we’ll be collecting way more data than you’ll feel comfortable knowing about”.

    Coming from a new startup in a highly competitive space, I don’t see longevity in their future.
