AI Armageddon

T-800: What's the dog's name?
John: Max.
T-800: Hey Janelle, how any legs does Max have? Is he all right?
Foster Mother: He's got 5 honey, same as every other horse. Where are you?
T-800: Your foster parents are dead.
What's the goddamn dog barking at? I thought you were gonna tell the kid to get rid of that fucking mutt.

AI does not have a consistent definition. It wouldn't be wrong to call an automatic thermostat that adjusts the heating based on measured temperature "AI". It's basically down to how you define intelligence, then it's just a computer doing that.

It would though. It's not even to the idea of how we define intelligence, everyone who knows anything about anything has a ballpark idea, and it's not a chatbot. It's just, we colloquialy started using this word to describe different things, like npc algorithms in videogames, or indeed chatbots.
Thankfully nobody uses the term to describe simple algorithms that aren't attached to faces, so we're good on that front. -
what? i thought llms are generative ai
The term AI is used to describe whatever the fuck they want this days, to the point of oversaturation. They had to come up with shit like "narrow AI" and "GAI" in order to be able to talk about this stuff again. Hence the backlash to the inappropriate usage of the term.

Good lord, Uncle Bob is from 2029, only 4 years in the future!

To put it in perspective, I just watched a YouTube video where someone claimed that they wrote a program to win at minesweeper using AI. All of it was handwritten conditional checks and there was no training element to it. It plays the same way every time, but since minesweeper is random by nature it 'appears' to be doing something different. Worse, to 'win' is just to beat a level under a certain time, not to improve upon that time or improve win rates.
The sad thing is that various levels of AI are/were defined, but marketing is doing a successful job at drowning out fact checkers. Lots of things that weren't considered AI now are. You have media claiming Minecraft is AI because it makes use of procedural generation -- Let's forget the fact that Diablo came out years earlier and also uses it.... No the important thing is that the foundation for neural networks were being laid as early as the 1940's and big projects over the years using supercomputers like DeepBlue, Summit, and others are completely ignored.
AI has been around, it's been defined, and it's not here yet. We have glorified auto-complete bots that happen to be wrong to a tolerable point so businesses have an excuse to layoff people. While there are some amazing things it can do sometimes, the AI I envisioned as a child doesn't exist quite yet.

Needs an utterly useless amazon alexa: "by the way, did you know I can add items to your shopping list" announcement at the end, for every interaction, all day every day, forever.

Watch us make Skynet and have it go rogue because we trained it on the Terminator movies.
I wonder how many of the “Will AI Doom Humanity?” News articles will convince an AI that it should doom us?

@skynet is this true?

It's not AI but that's like my car telling me how to answer the phone everytime it rings. It really pisses me off that it thinks it has to tell me to push the answer button each time.

Man this has potential for a great parody film.
I would love to watch/listen to a shot for shot fan dub of T2 in this style. It could be side splitting.

I can't recall the exact wording but I saw a post recently that explained you can tell her "disable by the way" or something along those lines and she should stop doing that. I at least noticed she stopped saying a bunch of extra shit when I ask for the weather.
