I had a first stage interview with a large multinatiomal construction company where I’d be “the only person in the organization sanctioned to use ai”
they meant: use chatgpt to generate blogs

LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term “AI” is really annoying.
In more than one questionnaire or discussion: Q: “Do you use AI at work?” A: “Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc.” Q: “How has AI influenced your productivity at work?” A: ???
Can’t mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

“That’s some high security clearance to have a computer rapidly tap auto-complete for entire paragraphs, hoss…wait it pays how much?(Ahem) I shall take this solemn responsibility of the highest order so very seriously!” Lol

We are just taking “crypto” back to mean something useful. It was just a matter of some stupid people losing enough money.
I hope in a few years we can take “AI” back too.

“AI” will never shake the connotations science fiction has given it. The association is always going to skew towards positronic brains and Commander Data.
In the world of Actual Machines, “AI” is a term that should barely be tolerated in advertising departments, let alone anything remotely close to R&D

I still think AI has its place as a useful term in video games development

I imagine this is how everyone who worked in cryptography felt once cryptocurrency claimed the word “crypto”

I’m still mad that ML doesn’t refer to that family of programming languages anymore.

It wasn’t so much stolen as taken back.

Luckily that was only the abbreviation and not the actual word. I know that language changes all the time, constantly, but I still find it annoying when a properly established and widely (within reason) used term gets appropriated and hijacked.
I mean, I guess it happens all the time in with fiction, and in sciences you sometimes run into a situation where an old term just does not fit new observations, but please keep your slimy, grubby, way-too-adhesive, klepto-grappers away from my perfectly fine professional umbrella terms. :(
Please excuse my rant.
