@0x2ba22e11@unstable.systems @StarkRG@myside-yourside.net @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io The other place the analogy falls down is that pretty much everyone knows what dynamite is. They know what it does[1] and why using lighted dynamite as a suppository is probably a bad idea. In contrast, AI marketing is deliberately confusing. It takes a meaningless word that has science fiction connotations and attaches it to technology that does not have the properties that the science fiction embodiments did. It is a marketing term that is deliberately designed to confuse. Imagine, instead, that a well-funded industry had marketed the term 'Blockage Clearance' (BC) for a massive range of activities including excavation, sink cleaning, and constipation. And then someone sells a Constipation BC™ product which is a stick of dynamite that you use as a suppository. The seller is a well-known brand and the product is on the market for a while without being withdrawn or the sellers prosecuted. Would you expect a normal person to realise that using it is a bad idea? Or would you expect the legal system to act? [1] Though, interestingly, dynamite is stabilised nitroglycerine, and another form of stabilised nitroglycerine is sold as a heart medication and is quite effective.
