All aboard the hype train! We need to stop using the term "AI" for advanced auto complete. There is not even a shred of intelligence in this. I know many of the people here already know this, but how do we get this message to journalists?! The amount of hype being repeated by respectable journalists is sickening.
people have been calling literal pathfinding algorithms in video games AI for decades. This is what AI is now and I think it's going to be significantly easier to just accept this and clarify when talking about actual intelligence than trying to fight the already established language.
While you're not wrong, I don't ever recall people en masse believing a game AI was truly intelligent. Everyone was always aware of the truth. There just isn't a great name for the computer players. I think it's an important distinction here because people do believe ChatGPT is intelligent.
Too late, the journalists have been replaced by advanced auto completes already.
If you can be replaced by advanced autocomplete, you're not really a "journalist"
Well, the “journalists” have not been replaced. But most of the content creating industry were not really that and have, as you say, started to be replaced.
What is intelligence?
My organic neural network (brain) > yours (smooth brain)
I jest
Journalists have this information, but articles about it probably generate 10% of the clicks, shares and eyeballs->ad revenue that either the hype or the scaremongering does.
