"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's known as image identification with ML though, not "AI". The difference? Capitalism.
The difference is that plant identification is no longer an interesting area for AI research. It was ”AI” 10 years ago, but now it’s more or less a solved problem.
Primarily, it's not interesting financially and therefore for marketing.

They're all known as "apps" because that's all they are. Like Angry Birds if we told people the piggies were "AI".
