    As an older developer, you could replace “machine learning” with “statistical modeling” and “artificial intelligence” with “machine learning”.

    LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term “AI” is really annoying.

    In more than one questionnaire or discussion:

    Q: “Do you use AI at work?”

    A: “Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc.”

    Q: “How has AI influenced your productivity at work?”

    A: ???

    Can’t mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

    Me too, but I make pathfinding algorithms for video game characters. The truly classic Artificial Intelligence.

    My old coworker used to say this all the time back around 2018:

    "What’s the difference between AI and machine learning?

    Machine learning is done in Python. AI is done in PowerPoint."

    Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence, so I don’t see anything wrong here. The character’s using a more generic term when talking to a layperson.

      I think the point that they’re making is that they used the latest buzz word for the people dishing out the dough.

        Yes, and I’m saying there’s nothing wrong with that “buzz word.” It’s accurate, just more generic.

        I see a lot of people these days raising objections that LLMs and whatnot “aren’t really artificial intelligence!” Because they’re operating from the definition of artificial intelligence they got from science fiction TV shows, where it’s not AI unless it replicates or exceeds human intelligence in all meaningful ways. The term has been widely used in computer science for 70 years, though, applying to a broad range of subjects. Machine learning is clearly within that range.

    Whenever people say “AI”, I like to mentally insert an M, G and C: ✨Magic✨

    Or as it’s also known:
    ✨I don’t want to explain what I actually did, so here’s a meaningless word to stop you asking questions.✨
