"AI" <---> "AI"
Meaningless grift fixed by meaningless grift? Sounds like peak grift.
Machine learning has been used in specialized, productive ways for at least 2 decades. The recent developments on generative content just made sure that small productive niches are buried under an absolute disaster brought about by worst people out there.
AI != Al
One has a lower case L. But most people don’t check for fontjacking and I just sold a 3 billion data center for Al 👍
I don't know how to tell you this, but not everything a computer does is AI.
But it is though.... AI was started long before computers were made.
AI at its core means "intelligent behaviour exhibited by non-natural/Artificial means". This means that if your OS "intelligently" switches tasks on physical threads on cpu that's AI. If you go to supermarket and the door opens when you go near it, that's AI as well (actually this example was in our intro to AI textbook).
So computers are a special case of AI, so are calculators.
