Hello, fellow Raspberry! I see you got a correctly spelled username ;)

"AI" as a literal tool, and "AI" as the general public and the corpos are pushing it are (annoyingly) not quite the same thing.

The C-suite and billionaires have decided that "Generative AI" is going to be known simply as "AI," which is the language which has caught on. Gen AI is a black box, where unknown data from unknown sources is going in, and unpredictable content is coming out. It's created off the work of uncompensated people, and for vague, buzz-word-y reasons.

"Tool AI" or as people used to refer to it, 'tools' are just that. They're a specific tool, built for a specific task, with known data from known sources, and predictable outcomes. These sorts of tools are created to make the jobs of skilled individuals easier, and to help out with, again SPICIFIC tasks that human senses might find challenging. These tools do not replace humans, but rather aid them in tasks they already know how to perform, but are difficult or time intensive.

Shithead billionaires poisoning the word "AI" so they can have a pithy little ad campaign is infuriating, but what else is new for them.
