    Yes agree, the problem is the marketing bullshit term that is AI. What we have now are sophisticated algorithms for remixing data - very impressive but in no way AI.

    The big problem is how in accurate they are, how they drift over time and need resetting and how biased they are in terms of what they’re taught and what they’re allowed to say (which then has unpredictable consequences).

    A good example with the visual models is how many seem incapable of drawing a penis and give men vaginas. That’s an inherent bias in what the models have been taught, and while amusing speaks of all the other biases that models are getting from being given curated data.

    Another example is the shit summaries tools give in search engines that are frequently wrong.

    This is basically alpha software that has been released on the world and oversold to inflate share prices. All the companies care about is being first and getting market share, in the hopes that the 90-9-1 split will occur and they want the 90% slice.
