Always has been.
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.
