LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term "AI" is really annoying.
In more than one questionnaire or discussion:
Q: "Do you use AI at work?"
A: "Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc."
Q: "How has AI influenced your productivity at work?"
A: ???
Can't mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.
I imagine this is how everyone who worked in cryptography felt once cryptocurrency claimed the word "crypto"
I'm still mad that ML was stolen and doesn't make people think about the ML family of programming languages anymore.
Luckily that was only the abbreviation and not the actual word. I know that language changes all the time, constantly, but I still find it annoying when a properly established and widely (within reason) used term gets appropriated and hijacked.
I mean, I guess it happens all the time in with fiction, and in sciences you sometimes run into a situation where an old term just does not fit new observations, but please keep your slimy, grubby, way-too-adhesive, klepto-grappers away from my perfectly fine professional umbrella terms. :(
Please excuse my rant.
As an older developer, you could replace "machine learning" with "statistical modeling" and "artificial intelligence" with "machine learning".
Pshh, I’m working on an AI blockchain cloud based customer first smart learning adaptive agile Air Fryer that will blow the competition away.
I’m in.
Does it have a voice assistant so it can be voice controlled and totally not to violate our privacy?
Please tell me it has individually packaged chicken nugget pods with DRM and more plastic waste than food 🤤
That's some real blue-sky thinking
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence, so I don't see anything wrong here. The character's using a more generic term when talking to a layperson.
I think the point that they're making is that they used the latest buzz word for the people dishing out the dough.
Yes, and I'm saying there's nothing wrong with that "buzz word." It's accurate, just more generic.
I see a lot of people these days raising objections that LLMs and whatnot "aren't really artificial intelligence!" Because they're operating from the definition of artificial intelligence they got from science fiction TV shows, where it's not AI unless it replicates or exceeds human intelligence in all meaningful ways. The term has been widely used in computer science for 70 years, though, applying to a broad range of subjects. Machine learning is clearly within that range.
Me too, but I make pathfinding algorithms for video game characters. The truly classic Artificial Intelligence.
I still remember fighting grunts in the original half life for the first time and being blown away. Your work makes games great!
So many walls being ran into over the years!
There needs to be a new taunting community for this mlm similar to the one for #buttcoin.
