@jdw @markotway @Rob_T_Firefly @nullagent You need to distinguish between generative AI (spicy autocomplete) and analytical/pattern recognition AI (which works surprisingly well). And also remember it's not "intelligence" in any human sense, it's just statistical modelling on a huge scale.
The term "AI" is pure sales hype, to extract money from private equity and sell the tech to oligarchs who can use it to attack their work force.
@cstross @jdw @markotway @Rob_T_Firefly @nullagent There's the old saying/joke that if it works then it's not AI. AI research started with playing chequers, but Turing's min/max algorithm solved that. Then text recognition, optimising compilers, machine translation... The list of things that were AI before they became solved problems is long. LLMs and diffusion models have simply joined that list.
