Alt Text: an image of Agent Smith from The Matrix with the following text superimposed, "1999 was described as being the peak of human civilization in 'The Matrix' and I laughed because that obviously wouldn't age well and then the next 25 years happened and I realized that yeah maybe the machines had a point."

When I heard that line I was like "Yeah, sure. We'll never have AI in my lifespan" and you know what? I was right.

What I wasn't expecting was for a bunch of tech bros to create an advanced chatbot and announce "Behold! We have created AI, let's have it do all of our thinking for us!" while the chatbot spits out buggy code and suggests mixing glue into your pizza sauce.

You're confusing AI and AGI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

AGI is what people mean, when they say "AI doesn't exist": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence

While AI is a program that can do a task associated with human intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

AI is not supposed to be an artificial human being. AI just does a task that people associated with humans (before they readjusted the definition of intelligence after it being created).

A bot that plays chess is an AI.

While this can be a valuable clarification, it ignores the plain use history of the term AI, and demands that language change for our convenience.

Laypeople have always used "AI" to mean what scientists call "AGI".

Language is weird, and tech bros suck.

If hollywood can waltz in and force us to stop using the name of a discipline, I think we may need to scrap this sim and start from scratch.

It used to be that AI was AI and then when AI was coopted by the stupid they had to come up qith AGI

[–] [email protected] 14 points 12 hours ago

No, it just wasn't mainstream to talk about because the average person didn't encounter AI

People playing video games have been differentiating between AI and AGI for over 50 years, though, considering enemies in video games are all AI

I have several books for the 90s about AI programming. AI have always mean any computer program written to "resemble" intelligence, from basic path finding to LLM.

Ya know, I can remember AI being used even in hella old games for enemies.

Which had even less to do with AI than LLM.
