      Bromite is fantastic if you’re on Android. Anything tangential to that is cut out, and you can add custom lists like you can with the uBlock extension.

    On being a catch-all term, I’d also add, one could argue even a dice made in BASIC for the Apple II is AI, for it makes decisions based on what is fed to it.

      I do hate that AI has become a catchall for “generative AI.”

      “Does this game contain AI?”
      Well, I hope so, or it wouldn’t be much of a game.

      But “slop generator” wouldn’t be as effective at pumping up that economy-destroying bubble, so the tech bros have financial reasons for not using honest terminology.

        The opposite also annoys me, where slop slurpers try to drop arguments like “well the ghosts in pac man actually used AI!” as if it were some kind of huge gotcha

        Like nice try but no, the slop coming from the unzipped pants of these tech bros is in fact not the same as “computers in general”. Although to be honest I think everything after oil lamps has basically been “magic” to a huge chunk of the population so I understand why their scummy marketing is so effective
