Yeah but if you look at the code it doesn't really predict anything on trained data etc.

It's not really a neural network either.

It will always return the same output for the same input. There are no training datasets etc.

It's literally just an algorithm that returns an output and returns the next output based on the previous output.

I would have expected some dataset of colors to train a model on and then use that to generate values but there really is no actual AI.

People seem to confuse a clever algorithm with AI.

There's nothing inherently intelligent about what it does. It's all math.



Well, it's doing inference with an already trained neural network. Inference will return the same result always. A training dataset is not needed once a model is trained. Of course, AI sounds better than NN and is shorter than Neural Network. If you want to check the code for the "real" NN to train the model just follow the open issue on GitHub...

As any other AI algorithm. In the end, all it's curve fitting...

This is an already trained NN, that's why there are no training dataset or the model does not train...


Is this maybe the difference between AI and ML?

I would expect an AI to be some higher level agent (according to the agent model) that modifies its own code while it does its work.

ML is done independently from the work and if you don't do it again (manually), the model won't change itself.
