I don&#x27;t understand what this word (AI) means anymore.<p>Everyone seems to be doing it, except me. It has something to do with &quot;machine learning&quot; and &quot;big data&quot; and it&#x27;s done using neural nets, which have been around since 1940s.<p>Somehow I feel like you can use the term AI to any algorithm that takes some input data, does some processing and produces output data.  After all, that&#x27;s what it is.<p><i></i><p>Because this term is so ambiguous, I will try and translate it into more boring terms:<p>AI which builds AI means algorithms which produce other algorithms ?<p>In other words, a program which can write other programs, right ?
