I’m not going to bother arguing with you but for anyone reading this: the poster above is making a bad faith semantic argument.
In the strictest technical terms AI, ML and Deep Learning are district, and they have specific applications.
This insufferable asshat is arguing that since they all use fuel, fire and air they are all engines. Which’s isn’t wrong but it’s also not the argument we are having.
You have inadvertently made an excellent argument for freedom of / unregulated speech online and in other spaces.
I know however that in practice people think the bad thing, say it and then find a million voices to echo it and instead of learning they become radicalised.
A tale as old as time. The old analyst developer with cobwebs behind his ears gets sacked because of CIOs shiny new materia. Only to be rehired within the quarter at a consultant fee the time his previous salary.
Technically speaking AI is any effort on the part of machines to mimic living things. So computer vision for instance. This is distinct from ML and Deep Learning which use historical statistical data to train on and then forecast or simulate.
Tangentially related: the more people seem to support AI all the things the less it turns out they understand it.
I work in the field. I had to explain to a CIO that his beloved “ChatPPT” was just autocomplete. He become enraged. We implemented a 2015 chatbot instead, he got his bonus.
We have reached the winter of my discontent. Modern life is rubbish.
Echo chambers were literally the biggest issue with that site. Now it chatGPTs itself?
