AI is all about getting rid of the part where you code up solutions, and going straight to the part where you code up problems.

On net, this is probably not a good description of what AI is — and I'd like to post more about why soon — but it is a good description of what AI aspires to be. I've been doing AI for 14 years and have yet to find a satisfactory definition, so I'll add this to the pile of decent attempts.
