I would love AI. Still waiting for it. Probably 50 years away (if human society lasts that long).

What I hate is the term being yet another scientific term to get stolen and watered down by brainless capitalists so they can scam money out of other brainless capitalists.

What I hate is the term being yet another scientific term ~~to get stolen and watered down~~ created by ~~brainless capitalists~~ researchers and scientists so they can ~~scam money out of~~ describe ideas to other ~~brainless capitalists~~ researchers and scientists.

The term AI as we use it today has been in use in the field of computer science for more than 50 years

The term that you describe as AI is what researchers in the field have called AGI for more than a decade.

The only place where AI is used to mean a artificial intelligence on the same level of humans is in fucking science fiction.

Is it hard to comprehend that when people say AI on the topic of something made by computer scientists they refer to the thing computer scientists call AI?

Do you go on gaming conversations and say: "Um... Akshually... it's not AI... it's just a behaviour heuristics 🤓"

"Brainless capitalists" weren't invented in 2019.

Oh yes, Alan Turing, such a famous capitalist.

I suppose you did say more than fifty years, which technically includes someone that died in 1954, but he also defined it in a way that even current models don't meet, so here we are, back at brainless capitalists.
