Not sure if this is the best community to post in; please let me know if there's a more appropriate one. AFAIK Aii@programming.dev is meant for news and articles only.

So wait this whole time you are just mad about semantics?

JFC dude you want scientific explanations for why we used words where shut the actual fuck up lol

Yes, this is a computing science subject, you were making a large claim on a subject of computer science, you were making a computer science claim, where in the field of computer science was it stated that AI is “anything that runs on a neural network”?

Give me a quote. I don’t need a scientific article. Just give me verifiable proof of that claim. I’m not mad, buddy, just very curious and thirsty for answers.

Again, not mad, and not semantics. Where was it claimed by McCarthy or the folks that worked with him that AI is “anything running on a neural network”? That was your claim, why do you claim that? Where was that ever said by any of those folks? That was your claim, back it up or suck it up.

You are trying to get me to give you sources of the semantics of the term AI. That is literally what you are doing.

I think I realized your problem, what you need is the definition of the individual parts so you can grasp the concept "AI" semantically.

adjective: artificial

1. made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.  "her skin glowed in the artificial light"

noun: intelligence

1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. "an eminent man of great intelligence"

AI by definition can be really mundane and limited it doesn't have to satisfy your idea of it you got in your head from movies and tv.

No, I’m asking you to give me the source on Your given definition of AI. Catch on.

[-] CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh well in that case, me. ahahahhaha wtf dumbass want to word that better

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Does it run on something that's modelled on a neural net? Then it's AI by definition.

I think you're confusing AI with "AGI".

Explain.
