@simon
hm, yeah no.
i disagree.
mainstream people have as much rights to their words as scientists, but mainstream is in the majority and AI will also continue to be abused by marketing to make outrageous claims.
i dont think AI helps anyone and i will continue to ignore anyone talking about AI

@serapath Which version of AI do you think doesn't help anyone? It's a pretty broad field!

@serapath @simon Yeah, it’s polysemic. It means x to researchers, but y to laypeople who only know of ChatGPT. I honestly haven’t seen/heard anyone IRL immediately jumping into a conversation with “but it’s not actually intelligent!!”. What I have experienced is getting partway into a conversation and having to say it - because it has become obvious the other person DOES think “Intelligence” is human-like decision making.

@jimgar @serapath that observation that the term AI is polysemic just expanded my understanding of the core issue here substantially! Thanks for that

@simon @jimgar and i learned a new term called "polysemic" 😁
thanks. ...makes sense to me.
