It’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.
@Gargron Do you have an example of what being intelligent *would* mean?
I have a hard time understanding the "it's not intelligence because we can tell how it happens" argument. Or are you making a different one?
The applications of this tech can replace human work which currently requires intelligence. That seems like artificial intelligence to me.
What is your argument other than the usual receding definition of artificial intelligence as "computation that we can't explain"?
