They’ve overhyped the hell out of it and slapped those letters on everything including a lot of half baked ideas. Of course people are tired of it and beginning to associate ai with bad marketing.

This whole situation really does feel dotcommish. I suspect we will soon see an ai crash, then a decade or so later it will be ubiquitous but far less hyped.

Vent ,

Thing is, it already was ubiquitous before the AI “boom”. That’s why everything got an AI label added so quickly, because everything was already using machine learning! LLMs are new, but they’re just one form of AI and tbh they don’t do 90% of the stuff they’re marketed as and most things would be better off without them.

What did they even expect, calling something “AI” when it’s no more “AI” than a Perl script determining whether a picture contains more red color than green or vice versa.

Anything making some kind of determination via technical means, including MCs and control systems, has been called AI.

When people start using the abbreviation as if it were “the” AI, naturally first there’ll be a hype of clueless people, and then everybody will understand that this is no different from what was before. Just lots of data and computing power to make a show.

Gartner Hype Cycle is the new Moore’s Law.

To be honest, I lost all interest in the new AMD CPUs because they fucking named the thing “AI” (with zero real-world application).

I’m in the market for a new PC next month and I’m gonna get the 7800X3D for my VR gaming needs.

They just don’t get it. Once everyone will use AI toilet and AI toothbrush they will sing a different tune.

I love skibidAI toilet

anamethatisnt ,

For some reason I imagine a toilet that automates a stool test and blood test and gives you a health report every month.

ryper ,

A stool test sure, but I’m not going to trust a toilet to use a sterile needle to draw blood.

barsquid ,

If the toilet is receiving a blood sample I have bad news for your monthly health report.

lowleveldata ,

I definitely need a toilet that remember and analyze my shit. Yes.

kinsnik ,

They will try to sell it to you as a way to detect any possible health issues early. But it will just be used to analyze you food patterns to shove mcdonalds ads

lowleveldata ,

too bad I already eat mcdonalds all days

OfficerBribe ,

Not sure what happened to it, but this was a thing already in 2005.

expatriado ,

I like my AI compartmentalized, I got a bookmark for chatGPT for when i want to ask a question, and then close it. I don’t need a different flavor of the same thing everywhere.

Cuz everyone knows it’s BS, or mostly BS with extra data mining

I barely trust organics. Some CEO being rock hard about his newest repertoire of buzzword doesn’t help.

NABDad ,

Think of the savings if you replace the CEO with an AI!

TrickDacy ,

I don’t see any mention of any details about the study participants but I wouldn’t expect the general public to have this attitude.

EherNicht ,

Who would have guessed so?

This is because the AI of today is a shit sandwich that we’re being told is peanut butter and jelly.

For those who like to party: All the current “AI” technologies use statistics to approximate semantics. They can’t just be semantic, because we don’t know how meaning works or what gives rise to it. So the public is put off because they have an intuitive sense of the ruse.

As long as the mechanics of meaning remain a mystery, “AI” will be parlor tricks.

yemmly ,

And I don’t mean to denigrate data science. It is important and powerful. And real machine intelligence may one day emerge from it (or data science may one day point the way). But data science just isn’t AI.

As I mentioned in another post, about the same topic:

Slapping the words “artificial intelligence” onto your product makes you look like those shady used cars salesmen: in the best hypothesis it’s misleading, in the worst it’s actually true but poorly done.

Diplomjodler3 ,

AI in consumer devices at this point stands for data harvesting, wonky functionality and questionable usefulness. No wonder nobody wants that crap.
