Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).
Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

“AI” is the new “Innovate”, every time someone uses “innovate” in 2024, they’re just talking about how they’re stripping our rights away from things we owned.
It’s really bugging me that it’s a catch all buzzword that combines any art on the computer into AI when there’s a very hard line from what makes digital art physically drawn by a human and what defines AI. It really annoys me that the whole actors guild cannot seem to understand what vfx stands for and what is AI. Vfx involves hundreds of humans with strong intention and artistic talent of doing literal back breaking work. The other is one wanky human with strong intention speaking loud in a room making shitty graphics that pales in comparison. This still isn’t ‘AI’. This is an asshole with too much power and thinks they are as good as an artist.
someone sketching on photoshop is a human generated image. And this has nothing to do with AI yet so many idiots sweep it into the same bin simply because a paint brush, which is still physically used by a human, was made from 1s and 0s
It also disturbs me me that people don’t hold people accountable for fake ‘AI GENERATED’ news stories or deep fakes and just shrug their shoulders calling it AI. like “oops, skynet is taking over”. No. That’s a human. A shitty horrible human, again, on a computer given too much power. No machine has intention. Only humans do.
If a mobster boss asks someone to take a hit out on someone, mobster boss goes to jail for just as much damage as a murderer. Probably even more so because it is intention. Meanwhile everyone pretends a computer itself is coming up with all this junk as if no human with terrible intention is driving at the wheel.
We gotta go back to naming names.
As a farmer, my kneejerk interpretation is “artificial insemination” and I get confused for a second every time.

Excuse me sir, when is your IPO?
take my money
The term is so over used at this point I could probably start referring to any script I write that has condition statements in it and convince my boss I have created our own “AI”.
For real. Like some enemies in Killzone 2 “act” pretty clever, but aren’t using anything close to LLM, let alone “AI,” but I bet you if you implemented their identical behavior into a modern 2024 game and marketed it as the enemies having “AI” everyone would believe you in a heartbeat.
It’s just too overencompasing. Saying “large language model technology” may not be as eye catching, but it means I know if you at least used the technology. Anyone can market as “AI” and it could be an excel formula for all I know.
The enemies in killzone do use AI… the Goombas in the first Super Mario bros. used AI. This term has been used to refer to npc behavior since the dawn of videogames.
I know. That’s not my point. I know that technically, “AI” could mean anything that gives the illusion of intelligence artificially. My use of the term was more of the OP, that of a machine achieving sapience, not just the illusion of one. It’s just down to definitions. I just prefer to use the term in a different way, and wish it was, but I accept that the world does not
Businesses always do this. AI is popular? Insert that word into every page of the deck. It sucks.
This is not a very good poem.
It doesn’t rhyme, And the content is not really interesting, Maybe it’s just a rant, But with a weird writing format.
Maybe it was translated from another language?
Humans possess an esoteric ability to create new ideas out of nowhere, never before thought of. Humans are also capable of inspiration, which may appear similar to the way that AI’s remix old inputs into “new” outputs, but the rules of creativity aren’t bound by any set parameters the way a LLM is. I’m going to risk making a comment that ages like milk and just spitball: true artificial intelligence that matches a human is impossible.
If I stuck you on a black box with and removed every single one of your senses, took away your ability to memorize things I don’t really think you’d generate new ideas either. Human creativity relies heavily on output from the outside world. LLMs are not human like intelligence but do exhibit pretty amazing emergent behavior. LLMs are more sophisticated than you think. Human like AI has to be possible unless there is something intrinsically different about the human brain that breaks our current understanding of the world. Barring a “soul”, the human brain has to be nothing but calculations taking place in a chemical medium. Meaning that human like AI or even better must be achievable.
I pretty much agree, but Imo, it’s not so much that LLMs are more sophisticated then people think, it’s more that people are less sophisticated then people think. Homosapiens have proven over and over again that we’re biased toward seeing ourselves as the center of, and the most important part of the universe. I know that Chatgpt isn’t magic, but I bet that I’m not either
Just wait for “quantum ai”
Shit. Don’t give them ideas
Yes, but I’m more annoyed with posts and conversations about it that are like this one. People on Lemmy swear they hate how uninformed and stupid the average person is when it comes to AI, they hate the click bait articles etc etc. Aaand then there’s at least 5 different posts about it on the front page every. single. day., with all the comments saying exactly the same thing they said the day before, which is:
“Users are idiots for trusting a tech company, it’s not Google’s responsibility to keep your private data safe.” “No one understands what ‘AI’ actually means except me.” “Every middle-America dad, grandma and 10 year old should have their very own self hosted xyz whatever LLM, and they’re morons if they don’t and they deserve to have their data leaked.” And can’t forget the ubiquitous arguments about what “copyright infringement” means when all the comments are actually in agreement, but they still just keep repeating themselves over and over.
This has been a thing for a long time
Clippy was an assistant, Cortana was an intelligent assistant and Copilot is AI
None of these are accurate, it’s always like a generation behind
Clippy just was, Cortana was an assistant, And copilot is an intelligent assistant
The next one they make could actually be AI
I think most people consider LLMs to be real AI, myself included. It’s not AGI, if that’s what you mean, but it is AI.
What exactly is the difference between being able to reliably fool someone into thinking that you can think, and actually being able to think? And how could we, as outside observers, be able to tell the difference?
Maybe I’m just a little bit too familiar with it, but I don’t find LLMs particularly convincing of anything I would call “real AI”. But I suppose that entirely depends on what you mean with “real”. Their flaws are painfully obvious. I even use ChatGPT 4 in hopes of it being better.
I think LLMs are definitely “AI” in that their intelligence is artificial. If an AI in a game can be called an “AI”, then LLMs like GPT should definitely get the title.
I dislike it because it is usually used by the kind of people or media that live from buzzword to buzzword. IoT, Cloud, Big Data, Crypto, Web 3.0, AI, etc. I’m quite interested in deep learning and have done some research in the field as well. Personally, I don’t think AI is necessarily a misnomer, the term has been used forever, even for simple stuff like a naive Bayes classifier, A*, or decision trees. It’s just so unfortunate to see this insanely impressive technology being used as the newest marketing gimmick. Or used in unethical and irresponsible ways because of greed (looking at you, "Open"AI). A car doesn’t need AI, a fridge doesn’t need AI, most things don’t need AI. And AI is certainly not at the level where it makes sense to yeet 30% of your employees either.
I don’t hate AI or the awesome technology, I hate that it has become a buzzword and a tool for the lawless billionaires to do whatever they please.
LLMs are AI. Lots of things are. They’re just not AGI.
I have no idea what makes them say LLMs are not AIs. These are definetely simulated neurons in the background.
It’s a very loaded term and seems to imply AGI for many.
I’m willing to bet that thise people didn’t know anything about AI until a few years ago and only see it as this latest wave.
I did AI courses in college 25 years ago, and there were all kinds of algorithms. Neural networks were one of them, but there were many others. And way before that, like others have said, it’s been used for simulated agents in games.
Right? Computer opponents in Starcraft are AI. Nobody sane is arguing it isn’t. It just isn’t GAI nor is it even based on neural networking. But it’s still AI.
