  • A new “fuckcars”-like community whose name doesn’t even target the source of their frustration? Neat.

    Gamedevs, researchers, and factory engineers sitting in a corner mumbling something about “appropriation”.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s hijacking of the term “AI” to mean “LLM”, and those who just blindly follow along and thereby help alienating those who work with AI (not LLM), are a sickness.





  • Luckily that was only the abbreviation and not the actual word. I know that language changes all the time, constantly, but I still find it annoying when a properly established and widely (within reason) used term gets appropriated and hijacked.

    I mean, I guess it happens all the time in with fiction, and in sciences you sometimes run into a situation where an old term just does not fit new observations, but please keep your slimy, grubby, way-too-adhesive, klepto-grappers away from my perfectly fine professional umbrella terms. :(

    Please excuse my rant.


  • LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term “AI” is really annoying.

    In more than one questionnaire or discussion:

    Q: “Do you use AI at work?”

    A: “Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc.”

    Q: “How has AI influenced your productivity at work?”

    A: ???

    Can’t mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.
