A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Are image generators like midjourney also LLMs?
They are diffusion models with a language model to understand prompts. What all of the have in common is that they are generative AI.
they are not Generative AI they are Slop Generators
Again, they are not AI. We have not come up with an “AI” yet. What they are, are Machine-Learning, or “ML” models. They are not intelligent.
why should we stop using a term that has been used for at least a decade to refer to things much "dumber" than something like gpt 3.5
Because the name is corpo pr speak to make it sound better than it is. We should not be repeating their lies.
"It was wrong before so now it's not wrong anymore"
if people use a word to refer to something for a long time, it means that that something is included in the words definition
If everyone uses a word "wrong" then it's not wrong, that's just what the word means now.
I can't imagine dying on this hill. People have been using the word AI to refer to things that aren't real artificial intelligence for literally decades. It's the phrase people use for when a computer does something that mimics intelligence. How come I never hear you people talk about how video game NPCs don't have AI?
"Actually, that character's programming is a form of virtual intelligence, not artificial intelligence."
~literally nobody in history
"virtual intelligence" just reminds me of Mass Effect
Also, a lot of the time NPC behavior isn't even virtual intelligence.
Stupid Goombas walking off a cliff lmao

Guess language evolves, because a simple A* or Dijkstra pathfinder was AI just ten years ago. Machine learning too.
Also, ask people what "intelligent" / intelligence is and you get one definition per person.
Artificial intelligence doesn't need to be good, just artificial, IMO.
Yes
?
YES
No
LLMs stand for Large Language Models
They both are generative AI, but that term also includes, as far as i know, vocaloid software too
