Clickbait feeding the Big Lai.
In reality there was no "AI" involved because it doesn't exist.
Dude used a LLM which is a statistical program with absolutely zero "intelligence".
You're a statistical organic blob with absolutely zero intelligence.
A lot of stuff was called ai and wasn't intelligent. Stop using this argument, it weakens any discussion that wants to argue against ai/llm usage
Unfortunately for you, the English language has shifted to include LLMs under the "AI" umbrella.
The English language shifted to make "drugs and alcohol" a saying so as to disassociate alcohol with drugs.
This shift is incorrect and does damage, it's called a false dichotomy.
Just because language shifts does not make it right, the dude you're replying to is absolutely right and just letting AI companies define our world is cowardice.
