Whatever it's called, perhaps it needs to get across the ethics of its technology if it wants to avoid misunderstandings? If it's using massive amounts of energy and/or stolen data for training, then it's probably unethical. If it's using reasonable amounts of energy and hasn't stolen any data, then it might be ethical. (I think? Just a layperson here, might be a lot of stuff I'm missing...) @SamiMaatta @FediThing @bedast And so every developer or group with a sense of marketing should have started avoiding the word for like a year now. @SamiMaatta@mementomori.social @FediThing@social.chinwag.org @bedast@beige.party Isn't VLC doing the same, though? It doesn't seem like there's much "intelligence" going on when all you're doing is voice recognition, so why refer to it as a form of "intelligence"? Maybe everyone should stop trying to create hype by calling any new feature "AI". @SamiMaatta @FediThing @bedast the term "AI" never HAD any real meaning; it has always been a marketing buzzword used to bedazzle people who don't know better. reading on the history of "AI" can be enlightening. |
@SamiMaatta @FediThing @bedast In the case of automatic transcription, it’s using machine-learning models, which are similar enough to LLMs that it muddies the water, as far as terminology goes.
