Comment on Oncoliruses: LLM Viruses are the future and will be a pest, say good bye to decent tech.
expr@programming.dev 1 day agoI obviously understand that they are AI in the original computer science sense. But that is a very specific definition and a very specific context. “Intelligence” as it’s used in natural language requires cognition, which is something that no computer is capable of. It implies an intellect and decision-making ability. None of which computers posses.
We absolutely need to dispel this notion because it is already doing a great deal of harm all over. This language absolutely contributed to the scores of people that misuse and misunderstand it.

It’s actually the opposite of a very specific definition - it’s an extremely broad one. “AI” is the parent category that contains all the different subcategories, from the chess opponent on an old Atari console all the way up to a hypothetical Artificial Superintelligence, even though those systems couldn’t be more different from one another.
