    Getting real tired of everyone calling everything AI these days. Machine learning doesn’t mean AI

      On Lemmy if you support ai in any way you get called a genocide supporter because they used ai

      Don’t expect then to understand the difference or even be able to rub two braincells together

      As someone in the know i agree, but for the “common folk” out there with a very limited tech background, it’s probably the easiest way to get the point what was used across.

        No it’s just straight up lazy and leading people to believe ChatGPT is out there solving archeological problems and is actually valuable. Just call it machine learning and go. Most non tech people won’t care, and they won’t keep having that association reinforced.

          You’ve got a point there, i did not take into account that this reinforces the perception of LLMs as something close to AGI (which was pushed heavily by Altman and Amodei).
