Meh, s'not too different. AI is only an expert system based on synapses. Get some pinhead genius to map the parts of the brain, get some bug-eye to program it, Bob's yer uncle. Web development, especially back-end, is logic, similar.

True. AI is dying anyway, and most AI products are basically ending up as assembly line 'robots' or 'agents'. Machine learning is where 'it's at'.

Of course, what would the Financial Times know, right, when you're an "expert" close to AIs cutting edge!

A lot of people can't distinguish between AI and machine learning. 'AI' sounds so much more fantastic, of course.
