No I'm talking about shitty AI products being used for shit they shouldn't be used for like determining which US workers to fire or spreading election propaganda to elect clowns. Not quite the super-intelligent overlords i thought would take over society

It’s semantics, but I think the person above is just pointing out that “AI” is an old umbrella term that refers to a lot of technologies that include previous current and future work, and shouldn’t necessarily be bound forever to one era’s misapprehension and misuse of a particular subset of those technologies.

Prior examples of AI included early work by Alan Turing. Current examples include tools that enable people with disabilities. Future examples might offer solutions to major problems we face as a society. It would be a shame if use of a term as a buzzword was all it took to kill a discipline.

After a few YT shorts with generated science facts I quit. The subtitles are incorrect and the animations are messed up, it's like done on purpose. Or saving penguins from plastics and then suddenly happy feet in the wild.
