Shouldn’t there be a catch all term to explain the broader scope of the specifics?

Science is a broad term for multiple different studies, vehicle is a broad term for cars and trucks.

Machine learning?

Glorified chatbots. Tops. But definitely not something with any kind of intelligence.

Yesterday I prompted gpt4 to convert a power shell script to Haskell. It did it in one shot. This happens more and more frequently for me.

I don't want to oversell llms, but you are definitely underselling them.

Is that not a type of AI already?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, there's an argument over not calling machine learning AI in this very thread, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

So why suggest it for the catch all term for AI when it’s only one portion of the argument itself? Such a strange suggestion,

"Computer Science"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So people think of programming instead?

Computer science involves all sciences of computing. It has materials science, logics, maths galore, just to do basic circuitry and chip design. It spirals on and on and on to get a real computer.

The point is it is a culmination of MANY different disciplines, and the people who think it's only "this" or "that" are demonstrating their great lack of knowledge on the subject.

It is a generic term because it takes MANY different things to complete the picture. Pidgeonholing things when you do not even understand them is only an excercise of ignorant stereotyping.

That’s too broad, there’s a reason there is already computer science, science itself, science of chemistry/physics/biology/space etc.

Language is fluid, not accepting change just shows how ignorant you are of the broader aspects of the world.
