We collectively need to stop using “AI” to refer to “generative AI”. Specialized AI, or rather machine learning, can be extremely useful.

AI is an umbrella term that covers many things. Why would we stop using it?
Tenderizer@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Because it’s too vague.
It could mean the useless silicon-valley venture that is being slotted into everything and making it worse (generative AI), or it could mean clustering algorithms that are indispensable in everything from medicine to meteorology (machine learning).

Sounds like you have an axe to grind with gen AI.

Not really, but it’s mass-producing garbage content. It’s only useless for cost-cutting at the expense of quality and that reality is undeniable, the more it’s used the lower the quality of everything we engage with.
