@zkat I’ve said for years that the advent of Trumpism had only one (very small) positive: it encouraged lots of seemingly-caring people to reveal what they actually thought about immigrants / gays / trans folk / etc so we wouldn’t have to work so hard to suss out their real personalities. Apparently AI is providing a similar “service.”

@thomasfuchs I keep expecting them to move the goalposts and define “AI” so generally that it basically boils down to all software being AI. I mean, an app that requires sign-in must be artificially intelligent because how else would it know if you put the right password in? How does a spreadsheet “know” how to add things together unless it’s artificially intelligent? And so on.
In which case, that definition of AI justifies the statement you referenced.
