Oh my God, it appears that including the phrase "AI" has become the newest ways to sell or scare or most anything you can think of. Most folks excepting some on here which are pretty darn smart do not know where computer programs come from???!!! Even a program that can massage an image or give advice or provide answers is still originally written, tested and released by HUMANS. When I was a Senior Oracle DBA (13 yrs) before retiring due to cancer radiation treatments their back parts of the whole Oracle Mass of Stuff was so well designed if you wanted to track, estimate, troubleshoot, speed up results, or any other need that would arise would give results and even tell you if some data had not been included in the design or the query, ETC, ETC!

A great example was their database optimizer which it turns out was a tad early in being released so many DBAs did not like it but the ONE fellow (wore green suits) that wrote it died suddenly! One man.....took a huge team of software engineers to go through his programming and finally come up with a bullet proof solution! Of course, if he had commented his code and kept copious notes as we teach in school now nor problem.
