Thanks for giving this analogy, It made more sense than my imagination above.
If I understand correctly, it’s the design process, not glass, that used learning. Along the same analogy, I guess the sculpture in London (glass, here), which was designed using random walk (neural nets), would be the same: the sculpture in itself isn’t “random walk”, but the design process was.
Edit: I read the other comments and it’s getting more confusing! AI, from my school courses, would be implementation of algorithms like Hill climbing where a system is online: it takes some input, and tries its best to find a solution. Now if I take the output itself for use in, say, signal processing — that “output” would be a “device” to do something and won’t be an “AI device”. Does this make any sense at all? I’d love to get some pointers on this to read.

(I couldn’t recall what was the name of the sculpture. Here’s the wiki link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Cloud )
