The problem is the chum bucket that everything related to expert systems and genetic algorithms is tossed into along with real LLM programs. For example, yesterday, while informing me that I needed a root canal procedure, my dentist was marveling at the "AI" of dental x-ray processing techniques (he's taking classes). He said, that the computerized version was more adroit at spotting decay and could perform periodontal charting from radiographs without the necessity of a hygienist poking at your gums with a probe. I'd call that more in the realm of image processing and expert systems rather than real AI. --Chuck
