Dear journalists,

For the love of God, please stop calling anything that uses machine learning or data science "artificial intelligence".

It is about as accurate as calling anything that transports humans a "boat".

@tdverstynen Um. Now that you mention it ... I want to go on record that I am in favor of using the term "boat" to cover all human transport.

“Hop in my boat suckers, we are going to Vegas!”

@tdverstynen Agreed.

But I totally use this in my semantics class to talk about prototypes. Might have to switch it to ask students if autofill counts as AI 😁
