Good news, but it's not "AI". Please stop calling it that.

it's ai, it all is. the code that controls where the creepers in Minecraft go? AI. the tiny little neural network that can detect numbers? also AI! is it AGI? no. it's still AI. it's not that modern tech is stealing the term ai, scifi movies are the ones that started misusing it and cash grab startups are riding the hypetrain.

The AI genie is out of the bottle and — as much as we complain — it isn't going away; we need thoughtful legislation. AI is going to take my job? Fine, I guess? That sounds good, really. Can I have a guaranteed income to live on, because I still need to live? Can we tax the rich?

I really wouldn't call this AI. It is more or less an inage identification system that relies on machine learning.

That was pretty much the definition of AI before LLM came.

And much before that it was rule-based machine learning, which was basically databases and fancy inference algorithms. So I guess "AI" has always meant "the most advanced computer science thing which looks kind of intelligent". It's only now that it looks intelligent enough to fool laypeople into thinking there actually is intelligence there.

Nooooooo you're supposed to use AI for good things and not to use it to generate meme images.

I think you mean mammary images?
