Stop saying “artificial intelligence”. (And “neural networks” too.)

Be more specific. Say “reinforcement learning”. Say “generative modelling”. Say “Bayesian filtering”. Say “statistical prediction”.

These are incredibly useful tools that have nothing to do with “intelligence”.

And say “model trained on plagiarised data”.

Say “bullshit generator”.

Say “internet regurgitator”.

These are also nothing to do with intelligence, but they have the added bonus of being useless, too.

@samir let’s call it what it really is. Mass data mining in real time. I think SalesForce called it, Their job. It isn’t smart. Doesn’t know all. The information is fed into the same statistical models that have existed since math // Moby was a minnow. As such it doesn’t t need $600B of our tax dollars to do what a few creative minds did in a garage in China for $6M. Oh you poor tech bros! Have we exposed the biggest grift since Y2K?
