I disagree - normal programming is just a set of instructions that the system follows. Adding complex AI's gives the program flexibility to determine action based on what's going on in the program.

Even then, the most complicated AI is just a really complex set of instructions.

Until we can create something that literally learns than AI will be just that - artificial. Sure, their are programs that "learn", but they don't really LEARN! Still just sets of instructions...

(I'd like to state that I have no knowledge of neural networks, so maybe NN's really DO create learning programs and I just have no knowledge of it - but I'd find that hard to believe)

Just my 0.02!
