@LordCaramac@discordian.social @cybso@osna.social @FediThing@social.chinwag.org @krautdragon@mastodon.social it's a veeerrrry blurred line though. "AI", "genAI" and "LLM" are all being used interchangeably.
I am constantly trying to understand what is actually meant by the various internal press releases of my own company when they espouse yet another pointless service or use of AI in a project. Unfortunately, and to my disappointment, when you dig down deep it often turns out they really do mean use of an LLM and not specialised AI to deliver some kind of information tool.

@mossman@social.vivaldi.net It's used interchangeably because most people simply don't have a clue and repeat some bits they've heard somewhere, resulting in others repeating that and so on. Laziness in language usage is one of the bigger problems in today's times. In the first place, calling self-learning algorithms Artificial Intelligences is already wrong since intelligence is a cognitive process that requires to make connections between different pieces of information/knowledge. An algorithm is incapable of that and thus it's not intelligent. 🤷♂️ @LordCaramac@discordian.social @cybso@osna.social @FediThing@social.chinwag.org @krautdragon@mastodon.social
