AI Pacino — robo-actor

AI Roker — actually could be a good name for a weather bot

AI Quaeda — fully autonomous terrorist organization

Weird AI Yankovic - all about the pentiums

That’s ASIC album

AIDF - fully autonomous terrorist organization

I've always looked at this in the other direction. Offer services "powered by Al" and as long as you have some dude named Al involved you don't have to waste time and energy on AI.

Bing Voice Search, now powered by Al:

You’re not wrong, because it took me a solid ten seconds to figure out what the fuck you meant with the rebranding.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 31 points 7 months ago

Your title honestly had me puzzled until I read the rest of the post. On my end it really did look like you were suggesting Al Jazeera rebrand as "Al Jazeera" and I was stumped on what the difference was.

Ha, exactly.

This is why I prefer sans-serif fonts that have lower case l's with a little bend on the bottom. For example the new default font in Office (Aptos) does exactly that.

"LLM is not a correct Roman numeral. Please correct or remove (some of) the symbols."

ML, on the other hand...

The Israeli government recently got found out for using AI to help plan the current conflict. There's a story in the world news community about it.

[-] Astronaut_M_Dexter@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

That's true (I saw/read the posts). I'm just trying to not bring geopolitical stuff into everything.

Hey everyone this guy's a commie!

Points at you then runs away.

Just thought it was the silliest way to be geopolitical sarcastically.

Of course, Poe's Law will always kick in.

I'm down voting him in response

And then they go back to doing this:

Seriously, this was the best thing Al Jazeera has ever done. And then they killed it.
