The vacuous truth is saying that AI is statistical. It certainly is, but it’s also much more.
The fallacy part is to take that fact and claim about an AI algorithm, that because it’s “just statistics” that it therefore cannot exhibit “true” intelligence but it’s somehow faking or mimicking intelligence.
