Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)So two documentaries about "AI" are coming out this week -- a good one and a bad one. For some info on which is which and why, see:

Erwin@emilymbender the story behind the AI doc reminds me of a video from FoldingIdeas that dives into how scientists got tricked to appear in a crackpot documentary about geocentrism.
Sure, there is creative freedom for the director, but using the credibility of experts to further a narrative that benefits either the director or some aligned cause is awful.
Does give away the plot if it really being an advertorial.
