RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW

MODERATORS
I hope that I'm understanding you correctly: You're asserting that I, as a computer scientist, am using the term "artificial intelligence" as technical jargon, while the common public uses it a different way.
I will accede this point. However, it is, in fact, a CS term and that's that appropriate way to use it. The public is wrong and I'm not interested in using the term their way instead of the technical way.
That is exactly what i meant, and can definitely respect your position on it. But i hope you are aware that as AI systems go mainstream you may encounter this communicative disconnect more frequently and as the person who knows the proper usage you are better equipped to bridge the gap with the general public then they are to understand the technical meaning.
Calling it wrong is a bit harsh though, in my experience language is a subjective ever evolving construct. The correct way to use language (in my opinion) is whatever way that gets the point across to any listeners.
