A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

You’re using the old definition of AI.
Machine learning is what used to be called AI, before they figured out that it wasn’t.
Now LLMs are AI, even though they’re not.
Machine learning and neural nets are fine, the current “AI” pushed on everything everywhere, is not fine.
So:
"AI" = Term specifically for ML tailored towards brain dead end users, as we see with image gen, LLMs etc.
The original commenter specifically said: Using AI to eg. cure cancer.
That means specifically using LLMs etc. to cure cancer. Which is Bullshit. It's way less effective than simpler, specialized neural networks. Therefore, the original commenter wrote bullshit.
