>Weak AI (also known as narrow AI) defines non-sentient computer intelligence, typically focused on a narrow task. The intelligence of weak AI is limited.
Typically people refer to algorithms that use machine learning, optimization, or other things once believed to be part of the field of AI (once we understand how to do them, they are no longer "AI".) People have been using the word "AI" like this for decades, to the point it's used far more to refer to weak AI than strong AI. When you talk about strong AI you generally have to specify it.
I would say that AI is very closely related to this though. Deep learning is taking over machine vision and simpler hand coded algorithms. It has the capability to generate good synthetic images, and it will probably be used for stuff like this a lot in the future, if it isn't already.
