#sorry maybe a hot take but if you are gonna have a fit everytime someone uses a huge umbrella term that has been used for decades thats on u#like its not... deliberate? its just happening because AI is literally a word people use to mean#'a more complex algorithm that can make decisions on its own based on parameters and context someone programmed in'#there isnt some huge magical difference between how the photoshop fix tool works and how midjourney works#one of them is just WAY more complex (and happens to be WAY more unethical data-rights-wise) but at it's core its actually the same thing#the thing on your phone keyboard that suggests which word to use next based on what words u usually use next#and chatGPT are also very similar in how they work its just that one is bigger and more unethical and uses more water than a small country#like. its not that there is some conspiracy going on to make the 'new AI' seem like the 'old AI'. its the same stuff but more advanced.#chatbots that can hold really complex dialogue arent *all* that different from a well-written video game NPC AI#and you have to look into context if someone says 'this game uses AI' because AI literally IS a huge umbrella term#like. its like being mad when someone says their website has an algorithm just bc you#immediately assume its the bad evil tiktok algorithm everyone talks about and dont realize 'algorithm' is just short of saying#'there's code on my website' you knowwww. there ISNT a meaningful difference between these AIs except that some are sourced unethically#and this person just confidently says things that are completely wrong and lack any critical thought or nuance (tags from @zevranunderstander)
