you, a techbro trying to sound intellectual: “Artificial Intelligence”

me, an intellectual: “Fake Smart”

it is messed up that the term “artificial intelligence” was used for so long in science fiction to mean stuff that did not exist IRL, for so many years before we had anything that remotely even looked like it

because otherwise it could so accurately describe what we have now

in the same way that “artificial diamond” can refer to anything even slightly trying to look like a diamond (glass rhinestones, cubic zirconia, moissanite) but does not refer to lab-created diamonds which actually are like natural diamonds in every detail except their origin
