      It’s been a while since I looked at how Valve does it but it could be called a primitive expert system. And while the HL1 grunts were extraordinary for their time, HL2’s combine grunts are still pretty much the gold standard. Without the AI leaking information to the player via radio chatter it would feel very much like the AI is cheating because yes, HL2’s grunts are better at tactics than 99.99% of humans. It also helps that you’re a bullet sponge so them outsmarting you, like leading you into an ambush, doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re done for.

      OTOH they’re a couple of pages of state-machines that would have no idea what to do in the real world.

  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.

      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.

    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

  As an older developer, you could replace “machine learning” with “statistical modeling” and “artificial intelligence” with “machine learning”.

    I think people are hesitant to call ML “statistical modeling” because traditional statistical models approximate the underlying phenomena; e.g., a logarithmic regression would only be used to study logarithmic phenomena. ML models, by contrast, seldom resemble what they’re actually modeling.

  My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:

  Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint.”

• FaceDeer@fedia.io ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence, so I don't see anything wrong here. The character's using a more generic term when talking to a layperson.

  • apocalypticat@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I think the point that they’re making is that they used the latest buzz word for the people dishing out the dough.

    source

    • FaceDeer@fedia.io ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, and I'm saying there's nothing wrong with that "buzz word." It's accurate, just more generic.

      I see a lot of people these days raising objections that LLMs and whatnot "aren't really artificial intelligence!" Because they're operating from the definition of artificial intelligence they got from science fiction TV shows, where it's not AI unless it replicates or exceeds human intelligence in all meaningful ways. The term has been widely used in computer science for 70 years, though, applying to a broad range of subjects. Machine learning is clearly within that range.
