A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

People now "ChatGPT isn't real AI because it says dumb shit all the time". People then: "Prolog is AI because it can solve logic problems".

Something with moving goalposts or something

Same old story: anything a computer can do, is an "algorithm"; anything it can not yet do, is "AI"... 🙄

if you listen to marketing of companies using Machine Learning, AI can do everything right now.

That is correct, AI has always been able to do everything "right now in the future". ML, NNs, GPT, etc. are all terms to distinguish the actual algorithms, from the abstract future goal of "AI".
