Just wanted to point out. Modern AI (at least the machine learning subfield) is not based on hard coded logic rules. Instead, it's based on systems that observe data and automatically learn functions that model that data and generalize to unknown data. We've come a long way since Eliza, but we're still far from strong AI.

If machine learning interests you: This website has a number of interactive toys that demonstrate the deep neural network set of algorithms. This one is my favorite. Udacity also has some fantastic free courses on machine learning. In general, if you're interested in AI, you'll have to look past the media. Books and journal papers are your best resource, and there are a few good video courses.
