      Well it’s comedy (even if you don’t agree, thats what he’s going for).

      And ai is commonly used as a catchall term for any program doing some kind of automation.

        What’s the old sense? A program? “AI” didn’t exist in the old days and it doesn’t exist now.

        The logic here is like 3 lines of code maybe? The ubiquity of “AI” grifting has made language meaningless.

          “AI” has existed since the 70s in terms of computing. In terms of the theory, much further back.

            It was actually the 50s, commonly attributed to John McCarthy.

            Crazy its been around almost a century at this point

              Sure, but it wasn’t really possible to code the stuff they wanted to at that time.
