#AI is a large discipline that has been around for 70 years. It's not going anywhere.

I work for #Siemens and we use AI in many ways, and have done for 30 years. For example: to predict when machines are likely to fail, to have parts ordered, and available just when they are needed, to help manage factories more efficiently.

The amount of data now available from the Internet of Things (IoT) means we can use AI to learn about patterns in data that we didn't previously know existed.

@pete @baldur

there's that kind of two-way thing where when the hypers say "AI" they mean a particular thing, and so do the detractors.

We use some AI (ML, OCR) stuff in work, and it's all of tried-and-tested variety, a lot like what you refer to.

But when someone says "AI can fuck off" I assume they mean "as sold and operated by OpenAI and friends"

@davey_cakes @pete @baldur Remember “algorithms” from 10-15 years ago? “AI” is just those things. Maybe more souped up. They are even trying to sell predictive policing “AI” tools these days.

Credit where it's due, this time it uses enough energy to melt the moon and is based on IP theft.

That's new-ish.
