It’s less that AI isn’t real and more that it’s a nebulous marketing term.
A videogame enemy is AI, a spam classifier is AI, a computer vision motion alarm is AI, an extremely convincing text emitter is AI.
I honestly can’t understand why people use these things outside of applications for transforming text you created where you are checking the output. Their whole thing is learning how to output text which is an extremely convincing facsimile of human writing. Like their whole thing, literally just the thing they do and optimise for, is forging being a thinking human being. That’s quite useful for say summarising a body of text you wrote, or helping you soften the tone of something, or draft rhymes or something. If you use them to learn anything though, or produce something you don’t entirely understand inside that output will be things with only a limited relationship with reality and every single piece of it will look extremely convincing.
Like holy shit, even putting aside all other concerns you are exposing yourself to a specialised misleading machine. Why not just take a hammer to your own head while you’re at it?
