I'm just a girl, sitting in front of a computer, begging you all to learn the slightest amount of nuance before you apply the marketing term AI to all forms of machine generation and analysis without understanding their fundamental differences

pattern analysis is not the same as chatbot nor image generator, actually. i really wish we had distinct terms (oh wait we do)

@rose_alibi I very much agree - though it should be noted that the larger collective We️ walked right into this when we decided to call any of this "intelligence".

You know, because it isn't. None of it is.

It's a tough bell to un-ring, not least because it's been chiming for many decades, but a place to start would be to call all forms of data wrangling things that don't include "intelligence" at all. The word can't be won back - but the fields of knowledge can.

@jwcph oh absolutely. intelligence is a ridiculous term to use for anything but marketing. machine pattern recognition and image/text generation are perfectly suitable
