As pedantic as it may sound at this point with how many years people have called it AI, this is why I refuse to call it AI. The original name is way closer to evoking what’s actually happening; machine learning. And my go to example of what this is like is using nutrients splotches and negative substances on a surface to see how a slime mold would grow toward “food” and around “obstacles” to make better mass transit routes/test out the routes they already have. You wouldn’t call that intelligence, yet the term AI and people wanting to jump the gun on things (self driving cars, anyone?) has lead to a vicious loop of people who should know better gasing themselves up to reporters then reading poorly sourced rehashesof that reporting and subconsciously buying their own hype. And all along the way credulous people and wealthy people corporations looking to get rid of these pesky jobs the lessers are always growing about throw money after bad.
This stuff can help take in info and with trial and error we could do things like find more fossils in less time or work through what a lost language without a Rosetta Stone might be saying on archaeological finds. Everything else is depraved (especially that which involves decision making directly and/or the stealing of work is inseparable from the output like AI art)
obsessed with the fact humans successfully made computers to do math so now we are making computers worse at math
#Machine learning#idiots with money buying the hype#News being too credulous again about tech bro idiocy#It’s crazy how fast this new toll has been misused#A company was having people pay for an AI girlfriend#Lawyers and judges were letting this shit prepare for court and decide traffic cases#They let a slime mold decide cases yall#We can’t survive with idiots running all the big corporations#We can’t survive if we don’t get more democracy in order to stop the spastic scramble that is a society in the thrall of big corporations
