alt Hacker NewsStockfish uses neural nets for its evaluation function, I don’t see how it’s unfair to call it “AI”.

Today I learned, Stockfish moved to neural network on 2023. I knew that it was just a minmax with alpha beta pruning and a really good eval function. Now its not.

It is totally fair, but for a lot of average non-tech people, AI == "something you can prompt in a natural language".
I personally prefer to avoid the term altogether in favor of more specific terms, like:
- LLM
- chess engine
- image generation model
etc
