    Not quite. Algorithms are definite, you get the same guaranteed output if you give the same input every time. AI is generally more fuzzy logic.

          I mean, yes. Linux is an algorithm. The programmes called AI are also still algorithms - they’re still deterministic, just too much of a tangled mess, too complex, for a anyone too realistically break it down step by step.

          There are some math problems that cannot be described algorithmically, but because of that they’re also non computable. Uh, some thermodynamics and quantum stuff from what I’ve heard.
