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.

OK, I won't call it AI.

(Because it isn't.)

"AI" at this point is at best a marketing term. Every second thing in my phone (a phone that is ANCIENT by modern hipster standards) is labelled AI, especially in the audio, photo, and video processing field.

And yet in reality it's just "really sophisticated audio filters", "really fancy image recognition and enhancement", and "really fancy frame stabilization". It was all called "AI" because back when I got it, LLMs hadn't yet made the term toxic (again).

But as an actual thing? An actual intelligence that is 100% artificially created? We're no closer to it now than we were in the 1950s.
