A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I can't imagine dying on this hill. People have been using the word AI to refer to things that aren't real artificial intelligence for literally decades. It's the phrase people use for when a computer does something that mimics intelligence. How come I never hear you people talk about how video game NPCs don't have AI?
"Actually, that character's programming is a form of virtual intelligence, not artificial intelligence."
~literally nobody in history
"virtual intelligence" just reminds me of Mass Effect
Also, a lot of the time NPC behavior isn't even virtual intelligence.
