       calling me anti-tech because i'm against generative AI feels kinda analogous to calling me anti-sex because i'm against sexual assault.

       @keengrasp I suspect that in the next 2 -5 years, we will see new cancer drugs based at least in part on AIat that point, if you are anti tech cause you are anti AI, then you will be very much on the wrong side

       @failedLyndonLaRouchite Sorry, it's too late to make that argument now. Techbros have successfully co-opted the term "AI" to be equivalent to their LLMs and generative text/image slop. What you're talking about--the pre-slop machine-learning algorithms that are actually useful for finding drugs, discovering comets, analyzing medical images for cancer, etc. etc. is what "AI" used to refer to, but no more. (and TBF it was incorrect even for that kind of tech). Billionaires took the name for marketing purposes, to hype up their slop machines..Kind of like how fascists co-opted the swastika, the OK sign, putting parentheses around someone's name in text chat to mean giving them a hug, the numbers 88 and 1488, all were appropriated. We can't use them for their original meanings any more because the meanings have changed.When people say they're anti-AI they are referring to the new meaning: slop. It says nothing about how they feel about the technology that AI used to mean. We'll have to come up with a new name for that.@keengrasp
