hmmm… good one.

you just gave me some new slang! Instead of using AI to describe these technologies, I will use PP, for parrot processing. 🤣

I’m using the definition of intelligence from a dictionary. language should be accurate. if AI folks called it “intellectual mimicry” I would have no issues.

they are attempting to bequeath an endowment based on specious reasoning and the hope to make money; not on the actual abilities of the machine.

one of my specific issues is use of the word intelligence. exactly 0 of the “AI” built over the previous 60 years is “endowed with the faculty of understanding or reason”… it is false advertising at best and a scam if we’re being honest.

if they called it “bag of words” processing or “computer that is pretty good at guessing what your taking about” i’d be less irritated when people laud it’s accomplishments.

at the core, all of these technologies are signal processing and pattern recognition, nothing more… no matter what musk, altman and the rest say there is no intelligence in there.
