When people say this they are usually talking about a very specific sort of generative LLM using unsupervised learning.

AI is a very broad field with great potential, the improvements in cancer screening alone could save millions of lives over the coming decades. At the core it's just math, and the equations have been in use for almost as long as we've had computers. It's no more good or bad than calculus or trigonometry.

    No hope commenting like this, just get ready getting downvoted with no reason. People use wrong terms and normalize it.

    See I get the point of people hating what they call 'AI' here, I totally get it but I can't see people using wrong terms since I know the correct one. The big corpos already misuse the term saying everything they made AI without specifying what kind of AI it is and people here that I assume techie also went to the wrong path (so you guys sounds the same as those evils, and u fell on the marketing). It's not about whataboutism — it's fixing what people always normalize using wrong terms when talking about technical stuff. I don't care if you still don't get it tho, I do what I can for saying the truth. And I don't think you do know what 'whataboutism' really is.

    Providing a counterexample to a claim is not whataboutism.

    Whataboutism involves derailing a conversation with an ad-hominem to avoid addressing someone's argument, like what you just did.

    Yeah, go cry about it. People use AI to help themselves while you’re just being technophobic, shouting ‘AI is bad’ without even saying which AI you mean. And you’re doing it on Lemmy, a tiny techno-bubble. Lmao.
