Not everything should be called 'AI'
Not everything should be called 'AI'
AI is the buzzword of 2023 and 2024, but calling every little feature AI is causing some to feel more than a bit disappointing.
It's the hype cycle at work.
Unfortunately I think that ship has sailed.
The meaning of AI has changed drastically within the past 10 years or so.
Back then 'AI' was a term reserved for Artificially Intelligent beings like Skynet, HAL, the machines from The Matrix, etc.
Today AI has been watered down to the point that we need to specify what kind of AI we're referring to.
I'm not sure there's a way to stop that unless you unleash a swarm of very convincing social media accounts across the internet all run by LLMs with the goal of correcting our current course... that or put them to work writing news articles like this one.
I think that it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Words change meanings and what exact word you use doesn't matter if the other person knows what you mean.
Yes but the companies will call everything AI anyway.
Not everything should be called 'AI'"
I blame that Paul Simon song.
Have a 10 line python script to implement a algorithm... AI!
AI now just means computer or algorithmic to the general public. No putting this genie back in the bottle.
