Spotify daily mixes
In all honesty, I think the lines are severely blurred at this point.
• "it can play tic tac toe";
• to "it can beat people at chess, Jeopardy, Go, DotA";
• to "it can see, understand and physically move around our world";
• to "it solves problems the smartest humans can't begin to fathom"
Spotify's machine learning algorithms are definitely beyond tic tac toe as they can learn from millions of listeners and look at a single listening history to figure out great music suggestions. I would put that under the AI umbrella as it's something people were doing before computers did it.
Spotify has historically used machine learning to tweak a predictive engine that can convert a track or artist into an N-dimensional value and then use the distance to other tracks/artists in this N-dimensional space.
Is that AI? Maybe. How does the brain work? Maybe when you see a dog it's converted into an N-dimensional space where cats are pretty close, at least much closer than turtles. So if that is human intelligence, is Spotify's recommendation engine not artificial intelligence?
I'm working on project that uses distances in N-dimensional space for determining appropriate human response and face expression; I was also wandering if this falls under AI umbrella.

I don’t see that much difference with an AI that looks at and learns from a lot of historic go games to recommend or play the optimal next moves for the current go board.
