BTW I'm saying this since the first chatgpt drop, that we should call these "VI" as virtual intelligence, and reserve the term "AI" to some serious stuff in the future.
I've been saying this since the first time I played videogames, but AI is basically any computer program that attempts at imitating human behaviour. AKA when the computer plays against you or tries to perform tasks like a human would.
Intelligence isn't a one track thing. Chess AI is better at chess than any human, it's artificial and it makes decisions during the game. We've always called that AI, so why shift the definition suddenly? Call LLM's and machine learning whatever you want I guess, but AI isn't some magic term only meant for some super intelligent machines.
People don’t use chatbots more now because they are marketed better than a decade ago. They use them now because they are significantly—measurably—better and more useful.
This is absolutely true and I would say is a byproduct of the first and second reasons, but yeah you are right they have made significant strides in the actual effectiveness
It’s funny, I just rewatched Age of Ultron the other day with my kids. As Stark and Banner were nerding out over Ultron and its capabilities, Stark compared it to Jarvis and said Jarvis was just a “natural language UI”whereas Ultron was “artificial intelligence”
Like dude, you just had Jarvis automatically take over controls of your jet in real-time. Jarvis is literally like the mascot of personal AI and yet back then it wasn’t AI by “sci-fi” standards. I agree that the term is a bit ambiguous but constantly moving the goalpost is getting a bit silly at this point. Today’s AI is the science fiction of our childhoods
Yeah that's bullshit. There's no definition for what "true intelligence" is supposed to be.
The definition from 1955: "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." That's what it "used to mean" in the academic sphere, an academic discipline, not "true intelligence" or whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.
Yes it IS being used as a meaningless buzzword, no shit. AGI is ALSO used as a meaningless buzzword, especially by people who don't understand what AI means. AGI is just AI that is meant to be general and not purpose built for specific problems, but it's still AI, because AI has always been a generic term for either the whole field of study from basic pong playing AI to machine learning models.
Right, so can you prove what you said? Don't bother, I already made a mistake bothering to reply even once to a random generated username account with hidden post history. I should write a script to auto block any and all accounts like that.
Anything is better than AI. Any reference to intelligence. People outside of the tech world (and some even in the tech world) are anthropomorphing AI too much and it helps these companies to sell their product even more.
I mean it’s literally in their company’s name, what else would you expect (the prefix anthro is derived from the Greek word “anthrōpos“, which means human)
