Today's tech market is inundated with products that claim to be powered by artificial intelligence. Some are, but some aren't, and it can be hard to differentiate legitimate AI from existing tools hiding behind trendy buzzwords and higher prices.

There are other categories like robotics and computer vision, but you're less likely to find those in commercially available tools-if you need a robot, you're talking to an expert.
