The blanket term "AI" has set us back quite a lot I think.

The plant thing and the deepfakes/search engines/chatbots are two entirely different types of machine learning algorithm. One focussed on distinguishing between things, the other focussed on generating stuff.

But "AI" is the marketable term, and the only one most people know. And so here we are.

I hate when streamers/gamers/etc refer to procedural generation as "ai generated". It's infuriating.

I particularly "Love" that a bunch of like, procedural generation and search things that have existed for years are now calling themselves "AI" (without having changed in any way) because marketing.

Reminds me of how everything on a computer used to be a "program", but now they're all just "apps"

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

I will die on the hill of calling them computer programs.

Same. It's like the one thing where I am a total boomer on

My pet theory is that Apple started to use that term because "App" can also be short for "Apple".
