AI is a Lie.

Correction for the sponsor spot at 1:02 - We meant to say "14700 KF", as is shown on screen 🙂

I find it hilarious how "Apple Intelligence" has the exact same AI acronym. That is THE most Apple thing I have ever seen.

I work in AI developing models. The entire industry is currently filled with MBA jargon and people in suits trying to collect money from investors. In the future, looking back on this decade will be super painful.

Imagine a man sitting at a computer. A series of Chinese symbols and characters appear on his screen. He spends his time and energy rearranging these symbols that he knows nothing about and has no context for. Sometimes a buzzer blares and he has to try again, but sometimes a bell rings and he gets to move on. After a long time of doing this, he's gotten pretty good at determining the pattern of the symbols that generally result in a bell instead of a buzzer. Let's presume you can understand Chinese. You walk up to this man one day and ask him what he does. He explains that he plays this pattern recognition game where arranging these symbols in a way the computer likes lets you continue to the next one. On his screen in Chinese is the question "What is ice cream?", and you watch as he responds in perfect Chinese "Ice cream is a cold dessert food made of ice, sugar, and either milk or cream." You ask him if he knows what the symbols mean and he has no idea. That is machine learning.

in computer science in HIGH SCHOOL they made a big deal about the difference between artificial intelligence and machine learning. its like machine learning was completely removed from the dictionary in the past 2-3 years

AI is genuinely just a marketing buzz word these days

a few years ago, marketing tricked us with "3D" and "Smart", today it's "AI"

AI peaked when the monsters fought each other in Doom.

My org recently named a new "Chief AI Officer." He's got a masters in marketing and a GPT subscription. Apparently, that's all you need to get to the C-suite nowadays.

It's going to become the same as how "Smart" got overused and is still overused to describe literally anything with internet or a timer of some sort.

Machine learning engineer here (Image generation focus). I am so glad a major youtube channel finally got it right, rather than fear mongering. The amount of horrific information even from sources that should be educated on tech like this is truly disheartening. Thank you for this video, which seems to be a rare one with a relatively neutral look into a set of technologies that will continue to shape the world for many years to come.

Decades ago, the term I was told was “computers are only as smart as a human makes it”, even in this age of AI I still believe that is true

Been a disaster in university with group projects. Half the team usually doing all their work with gpt rather than having an original thought themselves

Essentially, corporations chose to muddy the definition of AI, for profit. Just like with Hoverboards. And now we need new words for those old things we envisioned...

the GNU+Linux copypasta reference was goated

Imagine calling memory foam as "AI enabled cushion"

Ai is a perfect pool for the Dunning Kreuger effect. Peak ignorance will contribute to rampant misinformation. The widest tech moat we've seen in my lifetime.

AI Rice Cooker was the tipping point

Totally agree on the misuse of the term "AI" in marketing. It's definitely creating confusion and sometimes even harm due to misconceptions.

This is a conversation that needs to continue happening. I’ve really struggled to explain to people that “AI” isn’t AI, and more importantly why it matters that we distinguish between AI and ML. In a way, it feels similar to the whole USB-C issue where the vast majority of the public didn’t understand that just because a connector is USB-C doesn’t mean that it’s fast, it just means that it’s USB-C and it’s important to distinguish between USB protocols vs USB connectors
