    Yes it definitely is. ML engineer here (not exclusively I’m more of a systems developer but I have ML certifications and have done ML projects), the current definition of “AI” is just marketing for LLMs which isn’t the same as AI. It was redefined by OpenAI when they released ChatGPT back in 2022 to help drive momentum for their product. Before 2022 AI meant something along the lines of artificial sentience

    I swear to God search is purposely getting worse in order to force LLMs on us.

    Not to mention image searches are just spammed with garbage AI art. Gotta add “before:2022” to all my images searches.

      Websearches were getting worse long before AI because of SEO slop. AI has accelerated the worsening searches by making it easier to generate SEO slop.

    It totally is in my experience. I have literally sat in meetings pushing AI… but absolutely NO steering or discussion on what we ought to do with it. They will relabel related things that have existed for years as AI.

    It’s like instead of having a bunch of nails and needing a way to pound them in, we’ve been given a nail gun and a requirement to use it.

    “But we sell balloons”

    “Dont worry, the nail gun will make everything better”

    Always has been. The moment anyone understands “AI” is the moment they realize it isn’t intelligent at all. It’s just good at finding the right words or patterns.

    To quote my favourite comment ive read about AI:

    Person1) AI is just a fad. It will pass like NFTs. Peraon2) Nah, AI just started making good porn now. It will be here forever.

        It’s clear I’m in the minority as I don’t have any idea who that Counting Crows lookin’ motherfucker is.

          That’s Steve from gamers nexus. They do consumer/prosumer computer hardware reviews, but also deep dives into industry practices, often exposing shady or illegal behavior.

          He is lovingly referred to as gamer jesus due his scruffy look, generally affable nature, and habit of trying to right wrongs in the industry.
