    Good (but sad) demo of how LLMs and stable diffusion have completely poisoned the term AI to the point that even legit use-cases get shit on by association.

      Or how it has normalized using AI for everything between heaven and earth, when what is actually going on is machine learning. AI implies that the machine is thinking for itself, which of course leads (reasonable) people to draw conclusions that it’s not a very reliable source.

      Nothing in existence that has been labeled AI is AI. If AI (actual meaning of the words) exists, it’s in some secret facility and we don’t know about it. AI outside of fiction is a meaningless marketing term. That was already the case before LLMs and stable diffusion.

          No. That’s another bullshit marketing term people came up with when confronted with the fact that their “AI” contains no I.

            No, it’s a term that creates a meaningful distinction between what you seem to think AI means and what it actually means.

            If you refuse to accept either term then I can only assume you’re just being stubborn for the sake of it.

              A distinction necessitated by marketing abusing it and watering it down beyond usefulness. Rinse and repeat and we’ll be talking about SAAGAITSRI (super advanced actual general artificial intelligence that shows real intelligence) in 10 to 20 years.

          Let’s go ahead and call Trump’s politics “liberal justice”. It’s all just meaningless words that we can associate with whatever we want. That’s more along the lines of how “AI” is used in marketing.

            Or maybe we can accept that language is fluid and what you want something to mean and what everyone else thinks it means are in no way the same and never will be.

            That said, Trump is 100% a classical liberal so I’m highly amused that was the example you decided to go with.
