    Yeah true, but I’m really proud of the work my team does and very invested in it, so will always come to it’s defence when people say AI in general is bad, even if they probably mean genAI

    It’s not just companies pushing “AI” hype that are dishonest, the term itself is: artificial neural networks today simply do not meet reasonable definitions of intelligent and they won’t anytime soon.

    Cheers to you for doing useful work, but why not call it something more accurate like computer vision or medical image computing?

    spoiler

    i guess maybe because calling things “AI” gets them funded? 😭

      We’ve been using the term AI for a very long time now and it’s a very generic term that covers a bunch of technologies, like we’ve been talking about enemies in video games having AI for decades and people don’t find the need to correct that
