As an Artificial Intelligence proponent, I want to see the field succeed and go on to do great things. That is precisely why the current exaggerated publicity…
“…AI” concerns me. I use quotation marks there because what is often referred to as AI today is not whatsoever what the term once described.
Lost me right there. Not only was and is this AI, but the term gets narrower over time, not broader. If you want to go by “what the term once described,” you have to include computer vision, text to speech, optical character recognition, behavior trees for video game enemies, etc etc etc.
When I see people complain about calling LLMs “AI,” I think the only definition that would satisfy them is “things computers can do that we aren’t used to yet.”

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, bruh is using the Halo definition of AI. Probably played too many video games instead of actually paying attention to the history of computing.

Our one rule here is to be nice. Calling someone a dumbass is not nice. Be better.
