This picture being generated aside, do people just call all automation "AI" now because they can't tell the difference?

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 20 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Sadly yes.

Lots of basic algorithms are now called AI

Back to the 90s, where in games you'd add in some AI opponents

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

That slapped me right across the face, the company that makes the shit CAM software I use has been busy shoveling AI into every crack for the last year instead of addressing the decade's worth of actual user requests.

I hate everything about it.

Use our new AI agent to help you calculate Pythagoras - Some tech company

It's like Pythagoras, but wrong half the time.

I thought it was E = mc^2 + AI

[–] __dev@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

"now"? AI as a field of research originates from the 60s, playing games of checkers and solving algebraic problems using what we'd now call "basic algorithms".

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes? Anything electronic is AI. Just like electricity used to be basically magic to people.

Human kind loves to blame things they don't understand for 10x longer than it would take to learn about it.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Electricity is basically magic. It only seems mundane because we take it for granted. If sorcery, the force, investiture, or any other fictional magic system you could think of were real, we'd harness it, get used to it, and stop thinking of them as magic too.

Dont let familiarity diminish the sense of wonder. Understanding doesn't make electricity less magical, it just makes you a wizard.
