Defining Artificial Intelligence (as opposed to VI)

[Eridug]

People tend to lump Virtual Intelligence (such as your average chat bot, weapon system, etc.) into the same category with Artificial Intelligence. A VI is nothing but a collecting of if/then statements. Now, you may be able to create a really impressive VI by throwing every possible statement that you or your staff can think of in it. For something to be a true AI, it must use reasoning to create it's own statements by gathering relevant data. Much like we humans do.

This isn't really the place for this.
I mean, you're right, to a degree, but this doesn't belong here.
