Ah gotcha, totally agree.

yea exactly; not a problem for me that this is the case (buzzwords are just a fact of life), but really what should be happening underneath any "AI" solution is finding and implementing the right solution to the problem. If the right solution is classical control theory or linear models, but the business leaders insist on deep learning because to them that's what AI means, that's where there's a problem.
