I can’t imagine dying on this hill. People have been using the word AI to refer to things that aren’t real artificial intelligence for literally decades. It’s the phrase people use for when a computer does something that mimics intelligence. How come I never hear you people talk about how video game NPCs don’t have AI?
“Actually, that character’s programming is a form of virtual intelligence, not artificial intelligence.”
Is machine learning the problem, though? Like, if someone wrote a program for automating subtitle creation, or at least helping with the tedious aspects of it, and it improved the more you used it, would that be an issue on it’s own? I think that’s why people differentiate between AI, LLM, and ML, because we need ways to distinguish tech that’s being misused/is harmful in it’s current forms vs. tech that is inherently evil in concept alone.
It’s confusing bc nobody fully understands which terms refers to what, myself included, so everyone uses each term for the wrong thing.
Again, they are not AI. We have not come up with an “AI” yet. What they are, are Machine-Learning, or “ML” models. They are not intelligent.

~literally nobody in history
“virtual intelligence” just reminds me of Mass Effect
Also, a lot of the time NPC behavior isn’t even virtual intelligence.
Stupid Goombas walking off a cliff lmao
(He says, while continuing to scroll when he should be going to sleep)
why should we stop using a term that has been used for at least a decade to refer to things much “dumber” than something like gpt 3.5
“It was wrong before so now it’s not wrong anymore”
if people use a word to refer to something for a long time, it means that that something is included in the words definition
Because the name is corpo pr speak to make it sound better than it is. We should not be repeating their lies.
