Comment on Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With

  No, I saw it, but I was replying to the “please stop calling it AI” part. This is a computer science term, not a psychology term. Psychologists have no business discussing what computer scientists call these systems

      Ah, I see. We in the software industry are no longer allowed to use our own terms because outsiders Co-opted them.

      Noted.

      The solution to the public misusing technical terms isn’t to change the technical terms, but to educate the public. All of the following fall under AI:

      • pathing algorithms of computer opponents, but probably not the decisions that computer opponents make (i.e. who to attack; that’s usually based on manually specified logic)
      • the speech to text your phone used before Gemeni or whatever it’s called now on Android (Gemeni is also AI, just a different type of AI)
      • home camera systems that can detect people vs animals, and sometimes classify those animals by species
      • DDOS protection systems and load balancers for websites probably use some type of AI

      AI is a broad field, and you probably interact with non-LLM variants every day, whether you notice or not. Here’s a Wikipedia article that goes through a lot of it. LLMs/GPT are merely one small subfield in the larger field of AI.
