Want to hear something funny? Akinator would have been called AI if it was released today. None of this “AI” bullshit is actually anything intelligent. It’s programs and algorithms and computer mimicry. It learns nothing. Chatgpt and openai and midjourney are just Akinator. The term “AI” is just a marketting ploy thats working painfully well with the people who don’t understand that this tech has been around and in use for YEARS. Akinator was relased in 2007. Its just slightly more advanced Akinator tech, but its not anything artificially intelligent. I really wish we’d stop calling it “AI”

I still say I wish people hadn’t made up the name “artificial intelligence” to describe a theoretical thing that existed only in science fiction because otherwise it would actually be a perfect word for what we have now

In the same way that “artificial diamond” means anything that’s not a diamond but is trying to look like one (from cut glass to cubic zirconia) but does NOT include actual lab grown diamonds that are physically identical to mined ones

Artificial intelligence means “fake smart” and that’s what it is

If a computer ever gets actually intelligent like people, then I guess it can argue that we have to call it a lab created intelligence. Until then we have what we have
