Sounds like "the purpose of the system is what it does." Every invention that gets funding does that. I watched the development of ML techniques over the last decade or so; none of the researchers developing AI would have said that was the purpose. They had much loftier hopes for AI.
Yet the owners don't care.
I hate that it's pushed as a holy grail.
