    Maybe it is human-like intelligence. It’s dumb as shit, but have you met people?

    LMAO

    But yeah, I guess at its core, human intelligence and machine intelligence are both just pattern recognition, but I guess my point is that calling it “AI” gives people this false sense that it is something it is not. AI has been a thing in Sci-fi for so long that we all think of Data from Star Trek or C-3PO from Star Wars and similar. When in reality it is more akin to a robot arm in a factory doing the same task really fast and really precisely, but it isn’t some adaptable all-purpose thing yet.

      That for sure is a problem with all modern bullshit technologies they want to hype in order to get people to use/buy it.

      Look at smart tv’s… everyone assumes they’re awesome since they’re smart tv’s, that’s of course better than a regular tv. They’ll of course never mention that this just means that it’s a tv with a 100$ android box embedded that they’ll abuse to try to serve you extra ads, that they’ll not bother to update so your tv becomes obsolete in a couple of years, and that you can achieve the same thing by just buying the android box sepearately and connect that to a regular tv, which won’t make your entire tv become obsolete when the cheap android box doesn’t get updated anymore…

      So yeah, i can imagine you have an issue with it being marked as (competent) AI.

        Yeah for real.

        Smart TVs, Subscription services, etc.

        It’s all just capitalism doing its thing, everyone racing to sell sell sell.
