I like think of it less as artificial intelligence and more like a combination of a lossy zip file of the internet and like a pretty coherent word generator.

I recall my AI professor in uni telling us during the first lecture that «Artificial intelligence is this target, that, and once we get there it, is it no longer artificial intelligence, is just an algorithm» – and this still feels like the case.

Any sufficiently misunderstood algorithm is indistinguishable from AI.
