    Every last bit of it? What is your stance on use of AI for tasks such as data analysis of massive sets for scientific research, or procedural automation of massive operations?

      AI doesn’t exist, machine learning algorithms can be useful and are used with no controversy, generative bullshit is basically useless.

        That’s… not how it works. ML is AI also…

        Don’t talk about things you don’t understand, please, to avoid misinforming other

        You’re using a lot of very loosely defined terms with a lot of certainty. Machine learning is AI, we just usually apply it to the more simple versions of it. Where do you personally draw the line? I fully understand the plethora of risks, downsides, and injustices that can potentially be involved in the matter, but I legitimately don’t understand the extremist level hatred that some people express to anything that could hold the title of AI. To me, it parallels with someone saying that they hate ionizing radiation. Frequently, it’s also bad, and your entirely reasonable to try and avoid it on a daily basis, but it also has many uses that are beneficial and life-saving.

          Same thinking as people who hate crypto for a part of it

          They just sound completely dumb, yet it’s the majority of people here

          For a place that welcomes people, inclusivity and hate discrimination, there’s a lot of generalization of a lot of topics

      Yes, I am also frequently accosted by Google’s data analysis of massive sets for scientific research. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve forcefully inserted research analysis of large data sets into my search results.
