    They are not intelligent at all, so applying such a study label is an anthropomorphic action.

    The title makes a suggestion that the article itself doesn’t lead to. It’s not the AI that is creating a service of being more skilled than it appears, but rather it is imparting or enhancing that impression on the users that don’t understand the limitations of the tool.

    To use an analogy that is a bit too extreme, if someone thinks that a chainsaw is a great tool when using it properly and tries to use it for other things, it’s not the chainsaw that’s overextending its abilities…

    Or to put it another way… it’s always prudent to first eliminate the possibility of user error first, as that’s a likely source of the problem.

    Or another way… it’s always the human’s fault, until it’s not.

      God this drives me nuts. I also lose it when people call it a smart phone (it’s just a tactile screen dummy, it isn’t actually intelligent) or a hot dog. It isn’t neither good looking nor a dog.

      I almost punched someone the other day when he started talking about cloud storage. Are people fucking stupid? You can’t host information and data in the sky, it doesn’t work that way.

        If one more person on here lectures me that AI isn’t actually intelligent, 🤬. Yeah, I know. Like these posters, I am non-retarded, but I don’t need to flaunt my lack of stupidity.

        These motherfuckers would be running from a bank robbery,

        “Hit the gas!”

        “aCkSHuallY this is an electrical vehicle and does not employ an internal combustion engine to explode refined gasoline.”

        Wait till they find out “dashboard” isn’t an actual dashboard from a horse drawn buggy. The mind boggles.

        That is… sarcasm, right?

        Like, you are being sarcastic, yeah?

        Honest question because the world is so upside down right now I really can’t tell with these things anymore.
