In general, calling something that extrapolates and averages a dataset "AI" seems wrong.

Symbolic logic is something people have invented to escape that trap somewhere in Middle Ages, when it probably seemed more intuitive that a yelling crowd's opinion is not intelligence. Pitchforks and torches, ya knaw. I mean, scholars were not the most civil lot as well, and crime situation among them was worse than in seaports and such.

It's a bit similar to how you need non-linearity in ciphers.
