I will die on the hill of calling them computer programs.
I particularly "Love" that a bunch of like, procedural generation and search things that have existed for years are now calling themselves "AI" (without having changed in any way) because marketing.
There are proper words for them, but they are ~technical jargon~. It is sufficient to know that they are different types of algorithm, only really similar in that both use machine learning.
And would the meme work better if it wss used
No because it is a meme, and if people had learned the proper words for things, we wouldn't need a meme at all.
Call me a luddite, but I don't think going through a phase where bad actors have the power to set every democracy back by centuries through misinformation and other bad actors have an infinite kiddy porn machine is worth it for what ultimately amounts to a luxury VR Video game that, if even possible to exist (the holodeck isn't a "technology", it is a narrative device), would be something that realistically only the ultra-rich would be able to use (because let's face it, Star Trek's post-capitalist utopia isn't happening)
The blanket term "AI" has set us back quite a lot I think.
The plant thing and the deepfakes/search engines/chatbots are two entirely different types of machine learning algorithm. One focussed on distinguishing between things, the other focussed on generating stuff.
But "AI" is the marketable term, and the only one most people know. And so here we are.
I will agree with the people suggesting "VM and a pirated copy"
Just get like office 2010 and windows 7 off of the web, run it in a VM, convert the files, dump it all.
Sure!
Genre labels are vibes based. I'd argue Arkham totally fits the spectacle fighter vibe.
It's been a millenium since I've heard it, as I no longer qualify as young.
But
"You'll understand when you're older"
I'm older.
I'm thirty.
The only thing I "understand" is that all the rules are arbitrary as all fuck, society was made up by idiots with giant sticks up their arses, and everyone should go fuck themselves.
The only "progress" I made is that I stopped hating myself for "failing at society" and started hating society for failing so many people.
Over here in Brazil, I guess because we're a third world country that is more accustomed to poverty than the anglosphere/yurop, we have a variant of this phrase:
"Money can't buy you happiness -- But the lack of it will take your happiness away"
It's true that you can be extremely rich and still fucking depressed.
But if you can't afford rent, and/or are working by day to pay for a small meal at night, and/or are getting sick and just tanking it because actual care is outside your paygrade -- You are guaranteed to be miserable.
"This is human nature"
Looks inside
19th century anglo customs.
I generally advocate for the complete opposite, as a person with AuDHD and a lot of executive dysfunction:
If an activity has value, then it is worth half-assing.
If you can go whole hog on it and do it with full effort, great! -- But you are often better off doing it kinda half-assed, knowing full well you didn't put your all into it, then you'd be if you just didn't do it because you can't do it "properly" and felt bad about it.
Be it work, schoolwork, cooking and eating, cleaning, self-care things. Whatever.
If it is an activity that has any value, it will still have more value when half-assed then it would have if you felt guilty for your inability to do it whole-ass and then just didn't do it.
