A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

There are 'computers' made using clockwork and hydraulics, so I guess yes.
Lots of people think it's only AI if it's at least a Machine-Learning enabled Neural Network whose model is at least of 1B+ parameter complexity and runs on a digital computer using NVIDIA hardware.
It isn't, or at least wasn't, unless you use the techbro definition from the past 10 or so years (or the Hollywood definition from before that).
Bristlebots were some of the most simple proto-AI you could make. They are capable of navigation and object-avoidance in 3D space and even show simple swarm behavior, even without any kind of computing power or "brain".
