ML has been used for eg. medical reasons years before ChatGPT dropped. It's only called "AI" now because that sounds fancier. Consumer ML ("AI") is useless for anything professional - generating a 10 paragraph text filled with emojis and em dashes, and even more factual errors won't solve anything. Continuation of training ML models to eg. detect virus DNA similarities, simulate vaccines, create realistic simulations of weather, climate, vulcans etc., which - again - has been done since more than a decade or so, is actively being done. It's just that it's not as simple as feeding a few million Reddit and Facebook posts into the learning process to get factually correct results in a useful format.
ML was called AI before too, but since the consumer didn't interface with it directly usually, it was just part of the marketing, not the entirety of it.
Had a fancy ML algo power a small part of your solution? Your software is now AI powered.
Some years ago, I wanted to implement machine learning to get rid of the pigeons on my balcony. The other birds were fine for me, but those little fuckers crapped all over the place. I thought about an automated water gun.
