They learn by being taught the associations and it's not instant. Children don't instinctively know animal names, objects, colors etc. That's what is happening here, the machine is adaptively acquiring associations between shapes and descriptions. Learning is acquiring knowledge, which is mostly information association. I think "machine learning" is an ok term to use. Calling all this crap AI or "machine learning" is utter bollocks.

All that exists are clever algorithms and slightly human-oriented interfaces. There's zero artificial intelligence in existence. I came here to say "can we please all stop calling untintelligent softwear algorithms 'artificial intelligence'?" Does anyone else find the phrase ‘machine learning’ quite patronising and pretty much meaningless?
