I always say it stands for Artificial Idiot. But when it comes to using it with a search engine for results, it might as well stand for "Ask an Idiot." When I search for something and AI summary appears in the results, I often find it's like you've asked an eight year old to explain something to you that they don't understand. And when it comes to technical things, it's just doing a "they say" regurgitating of scraped data, that often comes from non-expert sources. A while ago I was searching the internet for an answer how to do something with HTML and CSS and avoiding any scripting, and AI results kept cropping up that were utterly wrong, every time. And it's getting harder and harder to research things when you keep getting crap like that presented. It may well be a better human language recognition algorithm than older speech recognition, but it really doesn't know anything or have an ability to sort truth from fiction. It's like dealing with conspiracy theorists. But people are treating it like some kind of magic spell. Say the right invocation, and make it do something you want, without ever learning how to do things for yourself. I don't see this boding well for future humanity. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
