It's been an academic discipline since the 1950's and a work in progress since at least Ada Lovelace.

Calling AI a scam for idiots is fair enough: but please include writing, machines and computers there too.

World class moron Linus Torvadls on the matter 14 July 2026:


"AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.

It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today."***

    We have LLMs. We do not have artificial intelligence. They call it that, but it's all marketing. It's not remotely humanlike.

    This sounds more like you have some kinda religious objection to a perfectly normal term in use for 100yrs or so.

    It's not marketing, it's the english language https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/artificial-intelligence

    With all due respect I'm not really sure your feelings on what constitutes humanlike matters much.
