This is why you should never allow the use of the marketing term "AI", and instead always refer to the specific technologies.

The use case for the term "AI" is to conflate things that work (ML) with things that don't work (LLMs).

Torres has written about that hit piece! It's the only article on that substack, "Mark Fuentes" doesn't appear to exist, the material was partially published under another name first, the material ultimately originated in the EA forums, and the article is a favourite of EA attempted astroturfers.

anyway, that's the quality of article that titotal just happens to reach for first

he's just using it as an example of a supposedly well-written and convincing article about Torres you understand, and just happened to pick an odious lump of slander that originated in that very forum
