I'm not sure which of the two groups I fall into that you said, bu
I think people have two different meanings of ai:
  Number one is a set of techniques that a computer uses to do complicated
  functions which may require learning.
  
  The other term of ai, is in terms of an artificial intelegence that has
  a personality, desires, can learn and make decisions.

I guess the difference is between saying ai and an "AI" .  Of course 
since no one can agree what makes something intelegent, we are hardly
likely to define what something is when its artificially intelligent.

Perhaps artificially intelligent and intelegent are the same things with
different spelling :D
