The thing the pedants will screech about is that AI just doesn’t actually exist. General AI is essentially creating a thinking thing that has human level intelligence. Everything else is a machine learning algorithm of some kind and muddies the waters for the real thing that may or may not ever happen. Even things we’ve sometimes called AI historically, such as NPC behavior in gaming, is still just a script. There is no intelligence to any of it.
At the end of the day, machine learning is generally some very clever linear algebra that can do crazy shit if you string it up correctly. We’ve made the worlds most advanced parrot (chatGPT) and fingerpainter (stable diffusion). with them, but neither are intelligent. They just predict what people expect with no regard to reality, ethics, or anything beyond what answer is probably right. And even that sentence is over-personifying them.
