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.

We have had AI for about 75 years. What we don't have is AGI.
We've had goalposts for 75 years. What we don't have is a way to stop grifters from redefining them.
I can't believe people are downvoting this statement. You can get textbooks and journals titled "Artificial Intelligence", accredited universities teach the subject, and researchers meet at conferences to discuss the latest research, but apparently that isn't real because... other people use the term differently?
I dislike OpenAI and LLMs as much as anyone else, but we can still be clear about our terminology.
"Artificial Intelligence" refers to a sub-discipline of computer science, not an anthropological or neurological study of human capability, and it has been well-defined since the 1960s-70s.
If it's about computer science, then use terms from computer science instead of misleading and dishonest terms from biology.
"Data processing" is fine.
