@TimWardCam@c.im *Someone* (bank or payment processor) uses ML (edit: which are not LLMs) to check my transactions, not me and not (usually) the party I'm actively engaging with. What was your point? @resuna@ohai.social @yugthebug@mastodon.social @jmax@mastodon.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social

@ScriptFanix@maly.io @resuna@ohai.social @yugthebug@mastodon.social @jmax@mastodon.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social That not all "AI" is LLM and not all non-LLM "AI" is evil. Many people here get that, but there are plenty who don't.

@ScriptFanix@maly.io @TimWardCam@c.im @resuna@ohai.social @yugthebug@mastodon.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social If you use the term AI in modern language, you're talking about LLMs. Part of the scam is to pretend that they are synonyms, and they've won that fight. You're helping with the con by continuing to refer to actual useful technologies as "AI". Scalzi meant AI in the colloquial sense of LLMs. Stop playing "well actually" games that only benefit con artists.
