When intelligence is defined as logic disconnected from human experience then all code is intelligent
When technology is assumed to be ontologically Good then any criticism of any element must mean rejecting the whole
I can see how these conflations arise
They're still fucking annoying though

do you think all computer code is AI?
do you think that AI critics must oppose all uses of technology in all circumstances?

Silicon Valley’s Drive to Get AI Into America’s Schools Is Working
Educators across the country are bringing chatbots into their lesson plans. Will it help kids learn or is it just another doomed ed-tech fad?

In the same way that the habit of 'false balance' from journalists played a major role in serious harm from fossil fuels since the 2000s
This credulous delusion that text output software is a living being is going to cause major harm well into this decade and the next one

This is where any of the AI safety crowd should focus, potemkin systems that are nowhere near sentience as marketed but using dark patterns to unsuccessfully replace useful labor. chatbots are NOT reasonable interfaces nor are they sentient. I hope genAI takes the AGI cultists down with it.

Meta's AI Profiles Are Indistinguishable From Terrible Spam That Took Over Facebook
The Meta AI profiles everyone is mad about are old, were a colossal failure, and many are already dead.
