From the Dark Side
I don't have your experience but a few years ago I did build a PC to study ML and DL. I don't like to use the term AI as its misleading as can be seen on pfm. I had to build separate models for each intended purpose. Then I had to train those models from the huge but free online databases and test that model with some raw data. Retune the model and keep retesting until I got good ~97% or so correct results. That model then to an onlooker appeared to be thinking and intelligent but its not. At the end of the day the model relied on multidimension arrays that contained just a number in each element. Every test was whittled down to numbers in these arrays to see if there was a close hit - 97% in my case.It's not pedantic at all. An AI is fundamentally not a computer program in that they do not do what they do by executing a computer program. If you want to be pedantic, we could say their behaviour is a higher order function unrelated to the computer programming involved.
As you say this is not programming such as applications, utilities and tools but we do use code to build the models and the little I've seen its very clever and an immense amount of thought and effort has gone into this by a huge number of people over the years.
For those who want to understand AI/ML/DL Kaggle is the place to go take a look https://www.kaggle.com/learn
