I really don’t understand why everyone uses AI as a term to describe anything generated by a computer.

[–] hiddengoat@kbin.social 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because technical literacy levels have never really improved.

It's why every game console is "a Nintendo" to people over 50.

I like to play Nintendo on my PlayStation.

Someone who's 50 today would've been 12 in 1985 when the NES was released in North America. Basically the target audience.

You're thinking of their parents (Boomers).

The same way they convinced everyone that they should say "cloud" instead of 'on our servers."

They stopped saying "algorithm" and started saying "AI"

Once it's used as a marketing term, the technical term loses all meaning in conversational language.

If it's in your server it's not in "the cloud", the cloud is code for "someone else's server."

[–] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I was thinking more from the marketing perspective " We keep your data on our servers!" verses "We keep your data in the cloud!" since the point was that the marketers of these things in particular are fucking up the terminology.

If you are already in possession of a server then you're probably aware it's not a cloud.

that's what they said

"cloud" really means "several servers in parallel for redundancy" at which point it is kinda useful

Thanks to all the clickbait headlines, a lot of people suddenly think everything is AI.

Just like every aircraft with 4 rotors is a drone.
