    Repeat after me: This. present. hype. is. not. A.I. By parroting the marketing bullshit, it doesn’t become less false. Large Language Models are just glorified pattern matching and everyone who calls them AI is a dumb fuck.

      It’s called AI even if it isn’t artificial intelligence, it’s unfortunately how language works. Like how literally has been redefined to mean figuratively.

        Only for people for whom words don’t have meanings. There is nothing “intelligent” about pattern matching. As I said - only dumbfucks call it “A.I.” and we shouldn’t regurgitate the verbal diarrhea of marketing idiots.

          You can be upset about it, it doesn’t change the fact that it IS called AI. Also the meaning of words change constantly.

        True. But it makes the 30% extra carbon emissions even worse: Ruining our climate for something that isn’t even AI. Not that ruining it for anything should be on the table.
