This is the best news. Itโ€™s one thing for AI to assist, itโ€™s another to replace. Fuck em

Agreed. There's a difference between using AI to assist workers and using it to replace them outright

If it was actually AI (or good) it'd be different.

I'm ashamed of millennial gamers for not forcing the terminology to be VI. Did we learn nothing from Mass Effect?

It's a marketing thing. Calling LLM's "AI" was a very intentional move, to evoke that sense of hyperintelligence. Whether it's truly an artifical intelligence up for debate, but calling them AI absolutely helped them gain attention (good and bad).

Also, obligatory "shut up Avina".
