Are you using AI - and how?

I came here to say the same. Everything is getting an AI sticker slapped on it these days. It’s extremely stupid.

As someone who works in tech: yeah, it's pretty frustrating. It's like the blockchain stuff all over again...

Next they’ll be calling it money and telling us we all need to buy some.

Agree with stupid.

To be fair, the industry and academia have chosen the term "artificial intelligence" to indicate the entire field, from rudimentary statistical methods and image recognition all the way to the digi-brain holy grail. Pedantically, machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI.

IMHO, the standards makers missed the mark here, causing a lot of layperson confusion and creating opportunities for bad journalism (as if we didn't have enough already).

To be fair, industry has exploited AI as a branding tool in order to separate fools from their money.

That right there, is what it’s all about. Forget all the idealistic hype. The bolded text above should be the city motto for San Jose.

If AW had a chatbot to auto-reply to each new user’s first post, which long time AW member would you have the AI model after for training data?

That’s the thing with AI. We lose all the unique, idiosyncratic, and annoying things that make us, us.

I’ll stick with all you bloody bastards. Humans are better, even if we can’t stand living with them sometimes.
