@ScriptFanix@maly.io @jmax@mastodon.social @TimWardCam@c.im @resuna@ohai.social @yugthebug@mastodon.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social AI is a meaningless term. For a start, nobody really believes that machines, algorithms or tools are really sentient beings (as far as I can see, the only ones who claim that are the notorious liars who actually make the tools and a few people who are of sub-par intelligence who have been duped by their marketing), or in any meaningful sense, 'intelligent'. So, we shouldn't use the term at all. Call them slopbots, slop distributors.

@UkeleleEric@mstdn.social @ScriptFanix@maly.io @TimWardCam@c.im @resuna@ohai.social @yugthebug@mastodon.social @thirstybear@agilodon.social It used to be useful as a catch-all term for a loose collection of academic research on "things it's hard to program a computer to do". No more.
