@evan I agree with @Gargron on this. All we have at this point is predictive statistics, which combined with re-labeling of long-standing (and sometimes valuable) methods of machine learning and pattern recognition are creating the illusion that artificial intelligence actually exists. The greatest danger in my view associated with AI now is that people will believe that it exists.

Old ML joke: “Just because your friends jump off a cliff, will you?”
ML: “Of course!”
