I'm a REAL boy!

The Introduction/Welcome video for the machine learning class lists examples of machine learning as the following:

- database mining
- applications that can't be programmed by hand (e.g. handwriting recognition)
- self-customizing programs (e.g. product recommendations for individual customers)
- understanding human learning (brain, real A.I.)


I get a little kick out of the fact that my own personal interest falls under the last category, and that it's referred to as "real" A.I.
