    Man I swear, AI is like astrology, people have strong opinions about it but haven’t done any research into what it actually is. So much more nuanced than ‘AI bad!’

      The analogy you picked really doesn’t match your point at the end, unless you somehow think astrology is nuanced (it isn’t, it’s bullshit).

      Large Language Model (LLM) is like astrology, Mashine Learning (ML) is like astronomy. I hate that they both refer to as AI.

        Neither of them really fit, but AI is a very marketable term. So basically anything that does stuff on a computer will be labeled that when someone wants to sell it badly enough.

      Lemmy is the wrong place to be if you want nuance. Most people here aren’t accustomed to thinking for themselves.

      That’s exactly what Baldur Bjarnason explains in his well-researched book “The Intelligence Illusion”. I can highly recommend it!
