    ITT: exactly what the tweet was about. (Edit: It was a tumblr post.)

    Y’all just saw “AI” and started frothing at the mouth about LLMs when, in the context of the tweet, it might just as well have referred to path finding AI in a video game.

      Seriously, I don’t get the issue but I understand the phenomenon. It’s like painters when the camera was invented,

      “cameras will put us out of work, cameras are lower quality, anyone with a camera can just take a picture!”

      Painters are still around, painted art is still desired and expensive. It will be the same over time with AI, we just have to wait for people to get over it.

          As always, there’s an xkcd for that…lol

          To quickly further expand on my previous example with a few I thought of afterwards,

          • the wax cylinder will kill live music
          • the radio will kill live music
          • the TV will kill radio
          • the airplane will kill the cruise lines

            Are cruise lines as a mode of transportation still around? Cruise ships are for leisure now, but they were previously much more prevalent.

      But tbf ‘AI’ in current public discourse and pop culture is (annoyingly) used synonymously with ‘LLM’ more often than not

        Aren’t you OP? Also, people currently understand “AI” (a marketing term) as “LLMs” and audiovisual producing software. Had you mentioned it in the late 90s, it would’ve been more about “The Matrix” kind of sci-fi AI, for instance, and before it would’ve referred to Cameron’s Terminators or Herbert’s “machine intelligence”. Words and their context. You’re being purposefully obtuse because people here wrote thoughtful comments disagreeing with the premise in the image you posted (and apparently agree with) and you don’t like it as it makes you feel silly. That’s all.
