"We invented a machine that thinks!"

"It's not thinking..."

"Technically true, but it can CREATE new content out of thin air."

"It steals everything it spits out by scraping the internet..."

"Okay, got me there, but think of the information access; now everyone with a phone has their own research assistant and the Library of Alexandria!"

"The machine spits out wrong answers; like every time."

"Look, fuck you, we own everything and you're buying it."

@AnarchoNinaWrites Thank you. AI does not yet exist. People are just throwing the term around in ignorance.

@farbel A lot of us do understand that there's a difference, but the word sounds nicer and more approachable than the other terms. It's like when we say Hollywood to refer to the US film industry, or the Crown for the UK monarchy. I hear that take often but find it so cynical
