Strange interpretation of cloud computing. Cloud means being able to spin up instances quickly, and also use various infrastructure services (databases, load balancers, containers, whatever) and software-defined networking without setting it up on-premise.


jack-of-some

Scalable workers without needing to invest in a server farm is clearly not something anyone needs.

It's so painful. I'm working on this one app, it's been developing over a year. It's straight up an algorithm, not AI, but the new guys involved keep referring to it as AI. We keep explaining the difference and there isn't one in their mind. "But it's an AI powered engine isn't it?" No you fucking rubes, it's a series of calculations and simple if/then decisions made based on those calculations. Nowhere in there are we introducing AI. "But can it have a pirate voice?"

redditweenies

I have to say, I at least like this iteration better than blockchain. So glad that has died down.


GolfCourseConcierge

Very accurate.


ancientRedDog

Isn’t AI short for “Accumulated If-statements”?


_by_me

Game devs have been calling autonomous agents in their programs "AI" long before the current hype wave.


kowdermesiter

> "But it's an AI powered engine isn't it?" You know what? Yes. This line right here. It reads "ELSE", this is AI that will get you fired :) But who are these people? Why do you have to work with them?


GolfCourseConcierge

Geneticists. It's an algorithm for scientific use, so we're leveraging their data sources. They just assume there's some magic under the hood when it's really just their own calculations done by a computer, faster, and deciding on what to do at key junctures based on a confidence score.


JayaRobus

I assume if it has a confidence score it has a model, so “technically” it uses ML (even though it is only a very basic reflex agent by the sounds of it).


GolfCourseConcierge

If score is in this range, return this. If it's in this range, return that. Super simplistic. Just ranking items based on the earlier calculations.


JayaRobus

Never mind, those people are idiots than lol. I was thinking you meant a confidence score along the lines of something like a score function for stochastic gradient descent.


GolfCourseConcierge

I wish it were that complex. It definitely is not. It does return the results like a pirate now though.


poopadydoopady

Now in fairness, "can it have a pirate voice" is a legitimate request for any program.


debugging_scribe

My company does the same. Ours sales pitch talks about AI. There is no such thing, I've started calling out dev team the Artificial Idiots (AI) since sales think we are all idiots.


Lordthom

So what is the definition of ai? When something is trained using a neural network? Because there is a conflict of words when we talk for example about npc in games. We usually talk about their ai, even though it is not a neural network. I think ai can still mean a lot of different things. I do agree a lot are using it as a buzz word.

At least AI is an actual thing worth doing.


Tokipudi

My workplace made an *"AI"* to automatically categorize some of the data we collect. I asked the team working on it what was it that made it an AI and all they could say is that it's because it *"guesses"* stuff so the users do not have to. Basically, it just seems to be a block of code with a lot of `if / else`, which is kinda ridiculous.


ProperTeaching

AI is the buzzword to sell more tech. Same way the metaverse and crypto are used to sell the same concept. Invest in more tech.


metaphorm

Ain't nobody buying metaverse hype not even Zuck


Fidodo

It's the same thing that happened with cloud computing. Cloud computing is supposed to be about provisioning and managing dynamic virtual resources instead of dedicated hardware, but when it was a buzz word it was being used to describe anything that stored things over the internet which is just a normal website... AI as a vague term could technically refer to literally any autonomous algorithm, which is basically just everything that runs on a computer.


bhison

"I swear this said it worked on blockchain technology before?"


JesterDolor

elendee

"AI" is and has always been a catch-all to refer to the unknown but "possible" reach of computing. So chatGPT ultimate use case for "AI" because even the people who built it can't tell you in a deterministic way what it will output. But yea the phenomenon you're talking about is "machine learning" - AI just steamrolled that in the popular lexicon.

I’ve got some clouds to sell you. Buzzword bingo is how tech has always worked. We got a decade out of cloud, then 5 years out of blockchain, now it’s AI. Most companies are just scams/vaporware looking to make a buck with no viable product. You make a shitty system then include the minimal thing so marketing can slap a bunch of lies on. Welcome to business.

ChatGPT\_4 answer: It's definitely true that the term "AI" has become somewhat of a buzzword in recent years, and there is a tendency for companies to label their products and services as AI-driven, even if they're not necessarily utilizing advanced AI techniques. This is likely because AI has generated a lot of excitement and interest, and companies want to capitalize on the hype. As for determining if a program is actually AI or not, it depends on the specific capabilities of the system in question. Generally, artificial intelligence refers to machines or programs that can perform tasks that would typically require human-like intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding natural language. If a system is utilizing advanced algorithms, machine learning, or other similar techniques to achieve its goals, it could be considered AI. However, it's important to keep in mind that not all AI is created equal. There's a wide range of AI applications, from simple rule-based systems to complex neural networks. So, while a program that can perform simple tasks like converting file formats or performing basic arithmetic might not be considered "true AI," it could still be a part of the broader AI landscape. Ultimately, it's crucial to evaluate each product or service on a case-by-case basis and consider the underlying technology and capabilities to determine if it truly incorporates AI.


KaiserCoaster

I came to the comments to look for basically this exact answer since it seems like OP genuinely doesn't know what AI is. Even better that it came from ChatGPT 😂


randominternetfren

Nobody actually knows what AI is at all. This happens with every tech bubble. Buzzword comes out, people milk it until it realizes it's value or becomes useless.


jkuhl

If you have an algorithm that uses some sort of ML and/or neural network, it’s an AI as far as I understand it. So yeah if you use an NN to dads 2+2, I’d call it AI. Kind of over engineering a bit though… But if it’s not actually using AI methods, then yeah, it’s just buzzwords

Because what people are saying here. Told one of my clients "I'm thinking of starting X business because it's incredibly overpriced the format they respond in is completely 1990s and they charge exorbitant amounts of money for quite literally copy and pasting stuff from a database and and multiplying it in a spreadsheet. Like I could build a business that does that and charge 98% less to you (literally 98% less was the number I came up with after saying to make 500% profit per transaction after time put in to create and have all the things necessary to run it, after 3 transactions id be in the green, and the client I consult for literally does about 30 a month). They were like meh to the idea..... The moment I said "ya and we can do 5 free edits per transaction included, using AI" they immediately were interested.... The buzzword alone grabs attention and it's silly....

Fluffcake

Because you can do some pretty impressive stuff with generative machine learning models, and turn very labour intensive tasks that are hard to automate with conventional code fully or semi-automated. Is all of it AI? Most of it. Does all of it *need* to be AI? Likely not. Can you charge double for any kind of consulting services by just adding the word "AI" somewhere in a title/project name/service? Yes. Is this gonna be the final wave of AI-craze where it actually goes to the moon and we are all replaced? No, AI are still blind, dumb, lying children. They have just gotten really good at making fridge-art and ramble like 5 year olds now.


azhder

Because now it's a no go on adding -coin and ML is kind of not a good one (ambiguous even if it was a way of avoiding AI), so marketing/sales departments had to find a new gimmick to name things. To the question "what is AI?", I usually try to explain the "I" because "A" just means handmade, made by people, not grown organically etc. So, what's intelligence? Intelligence is the ability to use past knowledge and experience **in a new way** to solve a problem or answer a question. That part "in a new way" is what makes some chess algorithm that is never changing not AI even if powerfull enough and with enough heuristics to beat anyone. Neural networks may be on their way to jumping that dividing line, but for now it's safe to say ML (machine learning) is more accurate description.

total_tea

AI is a grab bag of approaches, none of which is intelligent or even vaguely close. But like everything words are devalued due to marketing and money. Would you rather be an software developer or AI researcher :)


Grass_Own

There is no "A.I." in todays world, not yet at least. The way I see it, no super computer or most powerful computer on this planet could run an actual A.I. A true A.I. is "Artifical Intelligence", what does that mean? It means it is capable of thinking, problem solving, taking in the live actions that are happening around it and capable of thinking for itself, self aware if you will. Much like a human, we process things around us all the time, there is no one telling us what or how to think of what is happening around us, we are not pre-programmed if you will. Until a computer can do all of that on it's own without the need to be programmed to do it, there is no A.I. The brain is much, MUCH more powerful than any computer we can even think of in todays era. In my personal opinion, it would be impossible to even begin to create a true A.I. without the full use of a fully operational Quantum Computer, which go figure, they also exaggerate, regardless of what you see/read, today as I type this, we DO NOT have an fully operational Quantum Computer, so A.I. in my opinion, is impossible. If you took every super computer made on Earth, you still wouldn't have the computing power to even start an A.I. up, let alone run one.

I think it's reasonable to say that AI is a spectrum of things. Just like you have some people that are incredibly smart and creative, you also have people that are single-task focused. An example of AI that is easy to consider is a an anti-aircraft missile. It has to make simple decisions like "do I follow the bigger heat signature or do I follow the one that was most like the one I was originally following?" It's a simple question, but could have a multitude of answers.

Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

It gets even more specific than that. Alexa now claims to be a large language model, but if so, it’s the crappiest one I’ve encountered yet. It still sucks at very simple questions that text- based large language models like ChatGPT handle easily. When is Gentleman in Moscow set? ChatGPT. "A Gentleman in Moscow" is set in the year 1922, when the main character, Count Alexander Rostov, is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow by a Bolshevik tribunal. Alexa. “A Gentleman in Moscow premiered in March 2024.” I know this stuff will eventually get rolled out and will actually be useful so I’m looking forward to it. In the meantime, the labels will get updated long before the mechanisms do. Marketing. That’s it.

Independent-Cup3590

It’s really sad but true. Buzz words like AI are more likely to grant big money or make money. It’s really just a scam. Nobody knows what AI is actually and a lot of people don’t even understand what it does or is good for. Most just watch a sci-fi show and think it’s that or go by what someone else told them. LOL! It’s like adding turbo to the name of a car back in the 80’s.


lebarnett46

Hmm, I use speech to text a lot and I have a clear and precise speech pattern but if AI is controlling the dialog it has no idea of the variety of human emotions and mannerisms. It says what is commonly used but not what the user really said. I wanted to buy some tangelos and wrote a text and sent without looking. It said "do you have a change of clothes" so I had to do some quick back tracking so I didn't sound like a pervert. All the time AI helps out my day by changing what I say to ridiculous and sometime funny words or expressions. But it shouldn't be controlling shit. It just double spaced this line when I hit enter??? Remember the driverless car that ran under a semi trailer?
