it wasn't called AI when it was Markov chains and large language models regurgitating text through chatbots.
it wasn't called AI when IBM made a computer programmed with chess data that could beat Gary Kasparov.
it wasn't called AI when DeepDream was generating psychedelic pictures from scaped web content.
it wasn't called AI when machine learning was using if statements and statistical analysis to figure out exactly how much labor could be squeezed out of an Amazon worker
so why are people now calling these technologies Artificial Intelligence, after the briefest of media blitzes?
why do you let rich people appropriate culture and quite literally dictate terms to you?
