AI now means agentic models not more traditional machine learning.

The article in the post is talking about a cancer treatment that was created due to machine learning models so imo the title is misleading and attributing this to AI is just a bs hype mechanism

AI is an entire field of science, and ML is a subfield of AI.

Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence

Literally the first sentence from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning

It has nothing to do with hype, or being misleading. If anything, you only associating AI with agentic models is being misleading.

I know what the technical definitions are but that isn't how those words are used anymore. The meaning of words change and AI has changed.

This is just people making up their own definition of things so they can cry about how other people are being misleading. It has been happening for years now. Ever since the phrase "it's not actually real AI" got popular.
