There may be an issue here about what we define as AI. For example, I would not see what Google does as AI but rather as harvesting human intelligence. The lines here may be blurry are hard to define.

You make a good point about older taboos.

Could someone explain why this comment got modded down? I don't see any errors in reasoning or other issues. (Was the content level too low for the desired signal/noise ratio?)

Do you have a citation for Google using machine learning in any substantial scale? The most basic of the Google algorithms is PageRank which isn't a machine learning algorithm by most definitions of that term.
