This. I've been working with "machine learning" since before the current AI-fever and it's an invaluable tool in science and engineering.
LLMs and GenAI are being misused in a criminally negligent way and using misplaced legitimacy to do it, and that misdirect cannot be allowed to continue.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

If I'm being honest I don't think I've ever had a "career" but:
In 2010, Mort Todd looked at my pokemon fanart & asked if I drew comics. I said I didn't know how & he said "no one knows how to draw comics until they start drawing comics" so I started drawing a webcomic. Now I know!

THE NEW VINE WILL TAKE YOUR CONTENT like everybody is excited because “vine is back and they don’t allow AI!!!” But that is only because they want new content to scrape for training AI. Don’t be fooled.
Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

I finished my new jacket last week! First time painting a jacket for a concert instead of a protest. Took about 2 months. I hand-painted all the panels and patches, and hand-sewed the trim & epaulettes. Back includes lyrics from "Strange" and "Lavender Love" by Key. Details/process follow: #shinee

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.
