pardon Gary, I think you might have gotten the wrong end of the stick from me on this one.
I'm with Scalzi, he's entirely correct in his position on this one. his frustrations with the common person misconstruing what AI is and what is meant by AI when artists and creative point out what a shit show is going on is extremely valid.
he is 100% NOT meaning conventional machine learning, he's meaning LLM twaddle and the arson ring connected to that.

@WiteWulf@cyberplace.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run but people see the goods that conventional machine learning and tech does, assumes it's the same thing as LLM AI because they've been lead to believe it's all the same and then question the people pointing out that we're NOT talking about baking bread... we're talking about the morons running around with gas cans and matches burning everyone's houses down.

@8bitarcher@kind.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run ah, apologies. Proof, if it were needed, how nuanced a conversation this is. I am pleased that I misunderstood John. As I say, I thought he was better than that.
