    It’s artificial as in fake, not man-made and it’s been that way since the 70’s

    ‘Artificial’ isn’t the part of it that’s in question, lol. And computing has been around since way before the 70s.

    AI has always been about faking decision making

    That isn’t intelligence.

    adversarial AI in a video game or a chat bot

    are examples of A but not I.

    this semantic argument crap has just been annoying.

    Agreed. Words have meanings, and while we fuck it up a lot by not understanding the meaning or by some marketing department deliberately using the wrong words to sell something to people who don’t know any better, none of that means the words don’t have meanings.

    Unless we’re going with the whole “we’ve used it incorrectly long enough that that’s what it means now cuz language evooooolves!” shit, and honestly, maybe we have crossed that line, but that shit’s above my paygrade.
