We should honestly just take the word intelligence out of the mix for rn bc these machines aren't "intelligent". They can't do things like critically think, form its own opinions, etc. They're just super efficient data aggregation at the end of the day, whether or not they're based on the human brain.

We're so far off from 'intelligent' machine learning that I think it really throws off how people think about it to call it intelligence of any sort.
