To some extent, Morris suggests, the term AI has outgrown its usefulness. He notes that it was always a broad, fuzzy term, and encompasses some fields whose practitioners did not regards their work as AI. And while IBM continues to conduct research into artificial intelligence, Dr. Morris does not link autonomic computing to such work. "This stuff is real," he says.

Q. As inferred from the passage, when Dr. Morris says, "This stuff is real", he means that
(A) the things that were done under the umbrella of AI had no real value.
(B) what IBM is doing is superior to things that went by the name of AI.
(C) what was classified as AI was not really intelligent by any stretch of imagination
(D) the research at IBM is focused on the autonomic nervous system rather than the frontal lobe of the brain.

@writetotanveer Sir, pls help. I'm confused.
75
@Bahadur_billa - Pls provide the explanation as well.....I think the ans is b.
76
@saurav.kgp most sure is not in parallel with easy.,THEREFORE INCORRECT....

@aakhrijang A) the things that were done under the umbrella of AI had no real value.

The ans (as per the answer booklet) is B.
But I'm a bit confused here. Because 'this stuff' (autonomic computing) is 'real' i.e. it is better than AI. But IBM also conducts research into AI. So 'what IBM is doing' does not necessarily indicate 'autonomic computing'. It takes care of AI too. How can option B be flawless? Does that make option A a better option?
79
@mrinalpandey Yeah. That's true also.

@aakhrijang

I think Option(B) should be the answer..

Did by Option Elimination..D is automatically eliminated..not at all related to the Given Paragraph..Option C falls under the ambit of the para but seems to be far fetched..By the term"This stuff is real"..he is pointing towards the experiments n work done by the IBM in the present scenario in co-herence to his views which stated that past AI works did not fit under the scene of the actuality of AI..Hence Option B should be the answer..

PS: I was also getting confused abt "This stuff is real" that whether it is symbolizing AI as a whole or the present work of IBM in AI..
