Raccoon 🦝 The best one so far for me.

This post doesn't have anything related to AI but why it still got many downvotes?

This is mostly correct, just for addition:

I will talk about Islamic terrorism that is not limited to ISIS.

Short answer: They are mostly invited. Recruiters go to mosques and look for people who share the same ideology.

These recruiters often come to countries where Islamic conservatism is the main group in the country. These terrorist groups have some specialized people where they are very good at brainwashing people. And they work in small groups, often splitting up and going to their own destinations to find people with potential in the many mosques in small towns or villages. Most new members are invited by others who are already members of the group and they accept the invitation easily because they share the same ideology.

ok god.

So, this is a shitpost right?

Not Europe but I can relate.

OK, Mr. Big Brain Misuse-of-Terms. no point talking to someone who already thinks they know everything. Enjoy the echo chamber, lol.

Yeah, go cry about it. People use AI to help themselves while you’re just being technophobic, shouting ‘AI is bad’ without even saying which AI you mean. And you’re doing it on Lemmy, a tiny techno-bubble. Lmao.

... almost everyone knows what we're talking about, so the way we're using language is fine.

You said it — almost. Not everyone knows or understands, so wouldn’t it be better to use the correct term instead of still using the wrong one? You’re saying almost because we’re on Lemmy, and yes, most Fediverse software users are techies. I have friends who talk about “AI,” I edited this to lessen confusion to the second paragraph. For more specific, they were talking that 'AI is going to take our job, it can do copywriting for me' but when I ask further, they’re actually talking about LLMs — which is not the same thing. And you yourself know it’s wrong, since you work in the related field. When I hear that, I just tell them, “It’s LLM, and LLMs are bla bla bla.” Whether they nod or not is on them, but at least they’ve been told the correct thing.

I accept being called a language prescriptivist in this case, because we’re here on Lemmy, most people are techies or nerds, and we’re discussing technology. In everyday conversation I’m not pedantic, but in technical contexts, precision matters.

This isn’t ‘whataboutism.’ I’m not opposing the substance of what’s being said, I’m pointing out how it’s being said. If we already know the correct term, why not use it? That’s not gatekeeping — that’s making the discussion clearer for everyone. As already being said on my previous comment, as an activist, that's also your role being an educator. Without education, activism turns into noise.

I think this is how it should end. I agree with the substance of what’s being said, and you’ve already acknowledged my earlier point about where LLMs fit within the AI field. Since saying “AI is bad” as activism should also involve educating people with the correct term, I see this as a technical context rather than a public one. I respect your view since you’ve provided argumentation. Thanks.

If I stubbornly refuse to use the common terms and instead only use the technical terms ...

That's where your role takes part as someone who knows the correct term. I myself often teach my close ones about tech and its terms in my field. I don't want to normalize using wrong terms in a technical discussion. It's just depending on us to teach what's right or just being comfortable what is already wrong and doing nothing about it. Activists are educators as much as they are advocates.
