Pshh, I’m working on an AI blockchain cloud based customer first smart learning adaptive agile Air Fryer that will blow the competition away.

I’m surprised it’s able to make readable text.

Blovw it hard!

As an older developer, you could replace "machine learning" with "statistical modeling" and "artificial intelligence" with "machine learning".

"I'm into if statements lately"

LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term "AI" is really annoying.

In more than one questionnaire or discussion:

Q: "Do you use AI at work?"

A: "Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc."

Q: "How has AI influenced your productivity at work?"

A: ???

Can't mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

I had a first stage interview with a large multinational construction company where I'd be "the only person in the organization sanctioned to use ai"

they meant: use chatgpt to generate blogs

I imagine this is how everyone who worked in cryptography felt once cryptocurrency claimed the word "crypto"

[–] dvlsg@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I'm still mad that ML was stolen and doesn't make people think about the ML family of programming languages anymore.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence.[9][10] The synonym self-teaching computers was also used in this time period.[11][12]

It wasn't so much stolen as taken back.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We are just taking "crypto" back to mean something useful. It was just a matter of some stupid people losing enough money.

I hope in a few years we can take "AI" back too.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Me too, but I make pathfinding algorithms for video game characters. The truly classic Artificial Intelligence.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence, so I don't see anything wrong here. The character's using a more generic term when talking to a layperson.

[–] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think the point that they're making is that they used the latest buzz word for the people dishing out the dough.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, and I'm saying there's nothing wrong with that "buzz word." It's accurate, just more generic.

I see a lot of people these days raising objections that LLMs and whatnot "aren't really artificial intelligence!" Because they're operating from the definition of artificial intelligence they got from science fiction TV shows, where it's not AI unless it replicates or exceeds human intelligence in all meaningful ways. The term has been widely used in computer science for 70 years, though, applying to a broad range of subjects. Machine learning is clearly within that range.

[–] tory@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:

"What's the difference between AI and machine learning?

Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Whenever people say "AI", I like to mentally insert an M, G and C: ✨Magic✨

Or as it's also known:
✨I don't want to explain what I actually did, so here's a meaningless word to stop you asking questions.✨
