Getting real tired of everyone calling everything AI these days. Machine learning doesn’t mean AI

1 monthAs someone in the know i agree, but for the “common folk” out there with a very limited tech background, it’s probably the easiest way to get the point what was used across.

No it’s just straight up lazy and leading people to believe ChatGPT is out there solving archeological problems and is actually valuable. Just call it machine learning and go. Most non tech people won’t care, and they won’t keep having that association reinforced.

1 monthYou’ve got a point there, i did not take into account that this reinforces the perception of LLMs as something close to AGI (which was pushed heavily by Altman and Amodei).

1 monthThe other problem is the “um actually the field of ML is a subset of AI” people because, technically machine learning is a subset of the field of artificial intelligence mathematics.
But them acting like that isn’t doing the devil’s dirty work to “um actually” at everyone is absurd.

People, please open the article before spouting non-sense. There are some cool images and videos that would make your life a lot easier.
They did not ask chatgpt to convert files like the news a few scrolls up about converting pdf to slideshow.
They are using statistical models to figure out ink from fibre on ancient burned scrolls, from x-ray and CT scan data. Then other techniques to unroll them, so scientists can read and compare with other works.
Pretty much going from this

To this

This is the sort of stuff I was excited about AI for in the 2010s when development started showing results. Before tech(bro) companies ruined the term.
