@atomicpoet @mistercharlie @fediversenews I feel like "AI" is too vague a term to be used as liberally as it is. OCR has existed for a long time. It's not that intelligent an activity — although it is very useful as you say and should be used more.
It would help the debate if we described algorithms in a more granular way. Right now it's like people are trying to decide whether fire is good or bad when fire can burn down a house or cook your dinner.
