Sure, but this is not new. You start by saying “AI in 2024” but this is true of everything that has been called AI and a lot of things that maybe should have been called AI, such as the PageRank algorithm. Credit scores have made decisions based on based on statistical models since the 50s.
You’re making a far different claim than I was—that everything using statistics for decisionmaking is not software. And I’d mostly agree, but don’t think AI is particularly similar to statistics either, and the two both need intuition and understanding, but the intuitions needed differ greatly, so the point seems separate.
