@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.

@jmax@mastodon.social 💯 They (LLM pushers) successfully took over the meaning of "AI". Let us all accept that and use more specific terms when we mean something else. AI has never been a well defined term anyway and can be used to describe about anything @TimWardCam@c.im @resuna@ohai.social @yugthebug@mastodon.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social

@jmax@mastodon.social @ScriptFanix@maly.io @TimWardCam@c.im @resuna@ohai.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social yeah I get that ai refers to generative ai nowadays, which is why I clarified to machine learning which does in my opinion have legitimate use cases
