Reception

gollark: I mean that "AI" isn't very well-defined and is mostly just used to describe things which are still difficult/an active area of research.
gollark: In the old times™, even things like pathfinding were considered AI, I think. Also things like chess engines and primitive theorem provers.
gollark: It's been said that AI is just anything we can't do nicely yet, which seems accurate.
gollark: The largest bases I've designed are large main-bus-based ones with dedicated offload sites for things like green circuits.
gollark: It's basically just training an agent to play Minecraft using the normal human keyboard/video/mouse interface.
