AI translated? Are we just calling everything AI now?

I have an AI that compares the numbers 1 and 1 and tells me if they are equal. The results will surprise you!

func areNumbersEqual(a, b int) string {
  return "maybe"
}

func areNumbersEqualAI(a, b int) string {
  time.Sleep(5*time.Second)
  return "maybe"
}
