a part of me is so sad that we finally named something as artificial intelligence and in typical human fashion it's a content theft-powered slot machine with bad prizes that burns a tree every time you pull the lever

"some of it is powered by renewable energ-" if you applied the same drive to fixing the problems we actually have as a species instead of the fact you don't wanna learn how to draw or write well we'd be unstoppable, we could cure cancer but instead we're killing earth to finish nanowrimo

I'm still pissed that machine learning got bundled in with all of this gen-AI crap.

ai being used as the term reminds me of hoverboards, which were also some bullshit. I'm expecting some techbro to announce a bus as teleportation any day now.

But marketing!But marketing!

IMO there's still room to make computers "smarter". But all this "AI" stuff does is zero progress despite the excessive back-patting companies do. They've managed to waste a cool sci-fi term on nothing. And the term is so misleading that people think there's even something there to grow.
