1. A robot plays video poker by a predefined set of rules. It is programmed on how to play every potential set of cards it may receive. For instance if it received Ad,As, Ah, 3h,7d, it knows to drop the 3h and 7d and take two cards. For every possible combination of 5 cards it receives, it has a predefined action of standing or taking 1, 2, 3, or 4 cards.

2. A robot plays poker against live players. It has a predefined set of rules on how to play each potential set of cards depending on where it is seated from the dealer and number of players at the table. Over time, it learns how other players play and it adapts its predetermined set of rules on how to play various card combinations based on how it believes other players at the table are generally playing. (For instance if the robot believes other players are loose it may bluff less where as if it believes the other players are very tight it may bluff more).


Options:

A. Both robots are using artificial intelligence.
B. Neither robot is using artificial intelligence.
C. Only option 1 is using artificial intelligence.
D. Only option 2 is using artificial intelligence.

What do you guys think?

Really depends on your definition of AI.
If you go with the original definition by Russell & Norvig, both would qualify to be an IA because even the simple (non-learning/adapting) first system reacts (on a pre-determined basis) to its environment (cards being dealt) and maximizes its probabilities of winning by playing perfect strategy.
If you go with a different definition, that includes the ability to adapt and modify its play, #1 doesn't qualify and no VP robot would ever qualify because perfect strategy is always the same because perfect play against a VP machine is always the same (in contrast to that live players play differently and are diverse in "normal" poker, therefore perfect strategy depends on the player). So if you go with such a definition, a video poker bot never could qualify as an IA, unless it can automatically adapt to different games (Jacks or better, Deuces Wild, ...). And even that wouldn't qualify since recognising the game being played is no different than recognising the cards being dealt to the bot. So the only way would be, if the bot was able to automatically create and play by a perfect strategy for a new game/set of rules of video poker.

maybe #2....depending on its methodology of adapting to loose/tight players.....the part about starting cards and position are definitely programmable......but the adapting to tighter players based on VPIP and such don't qualify IMO, but if it can literally find someone on tilt or such then maybe.....

AI to me means the computer can make their own decisions

if you set parameters and they operate only withing what they are programmed, that is no different than a calculator adding up numbers.
