Lol yeah, everything is called "artificial intelligence" these days. Thing is, it isn't intelligent. It just picks the best option based on weights.

And yes, in most cases, you would make your own data set and use any of the current existing, pre-trained models as a starter point.

For example with object detection, you feed some current model thousands of images of a cucumber and thousands of images of a dildo, as well as completely unrelated images, and then have the AI... Oops, I mean... have the code, predict the most likely answer.

You'll end up with a large database of floating numbers, which gives, for example, results like 70% cucumber and 30% chance the image features a dildo.
