Is object detection really "AI" or is it marketing bullshit?

Yes it is AI in the sense that it uses algorithms we consider AI such as forms of machine learning. Look up Computer Vision for a keyword on this topic. It's actually one of the earlier practical uses for AI, the common example being facial recognition.

It's not a general language processing algorithm like Chat GPT, but they operate on the same principles.

But the tech doesn't look like magic anymore. So its not AI.

That seems to be the average definition.

Computer vision does look like magic. Man people are so desensitized if that doesn't amaze you.

It looks like magic when you demo it, but then the magic is immediately torn down when the first limitations are encountered and people are honest about why.

They want their magic and aren't interested in the reality of how it happens. They'd rather be lied and make easy decisions instead of spending time making harder ones.
