Yeah real AI doesnt exist and we are not even close. But marketing is powerful. We should be saying language models.

The only time I was agitated by it was with the George Carlin thing.
It pissed me off that it was done without permission. It annoyed me that "AI" also kinda looks like "AL" with a lowercase L and when next to another name, makes it read like AL CARLIN or AL GEORGE. And it divided me somewhat because I watched the damn special and it was mostly funny and did feel like Carlin's style (though it certainly didn't sound right and it had timing issues). So, like... It wasn't shit in and of itself, but the nature of what it is and the fact it was done without permission or consent is concerning. Shame on Will Sasso for that. He could have just done his own impersonation and wrote his own jokes in the style of Carlin; it would have been a far better display of respect and appreciation than having an AI do it.
I don't think he's a sick and disgusting person for this; even before it all blew up, it seemed more like a tribute to a comedian he adored. Just a poorly thought out way of doing one that may have some pretty hard consequences.

We have to work out what intelligence is before we can develop AI. Sentient AI? Forget about it!
I think generally Sentience is considered a very low bar while Sapience better describes thinking on the level of a real person. I get them confused sometimes.

Depends on how you define it. A thermostat or PID controller is artificial, and intelligent enough to hold a comfortable temperature.
EXACTLY.
voice-to-image or text-to-image is as much ‘AI’ as window’s voice-to-text feature. It’s an accessibility feature.
I remember being upset about the exact same thing when 4G first launched.
you are not alone, it annoys me to no avail and I keep correcting & explaining to people who have no clue about how computers and LLMs work.
Hey me too. I gave up though.
I get agitated by the word AI when it's obviously not using machine learning, or when it's used to shove ChatGPT into something without any reason to use it over just using ChatGPT.
#yes
It's an establish term in the field since the1950s.
Not at all, im pretty exvited for AI and AGI. Its the future. Feels like smartphone era all over again
Mostly because every time I see the abbreviation I think it’s Al and not AI. And I briefly wonder if they mean Al Jolson or Al Capone.
Or my favorite, Weird Al
"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.
intelligence != "thinking"
My coworker just gave me this rant the other day about AI.
