“And perhaps some scary things too.” True that. I figure Biden and the alphabet agencies are using AI to record, catalog and disseminate every post I make on this website that doesn’t agree with his ideology.

Almost everything in this world has a duality.
A hammer that is used to build a beautiful coffee table can also be used to bash in the brains of a murder victim.
The problem is, people who can find an evil use of something are equally as inclined to use it for that purpose as someone who sees a benefit out of it might use it for a good purpose.

You raise a good point about the arguments of trans people and their demands about language. The behavior of trans people is similar to that of certain people on this thread who complain about the use of the term "AI" to describe hardware/software that tries to mimic human intelligence.
Both groups are trying to control the language...both are trying to tell people what language to use or not to use.
No one insisted or demanded that the term "AI" be used. It simply happened.
Complaining about its use is Orwellian/Marxian.

The concern that "AI" will take the jobs of the PhD geologists is not really a concern. It takes PhD geologists to build and vet the models used in the AI. A better analogy is that the process has moved from pencil and paper arithmetic to a desktop calculator. The algorithms can execute faster, but it still takes a PhD to create the algorithms.

Just out of curiosity, what term would you use to describe what folks are referring to as “AI”?Software innovations or targeted algorithms.
As for AI, read this again.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test
a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation was a machine, and all participants would be separated from one another.
This recent use of the term AI is just faddism and marketing hype.

Software innovations or targeted algorithms.That's a mouthful. I doubt it will catch on.
Just a wild guess, but I think most people will use a short catchy term like "AI" instead.

Then I assume you have no problem with trans people changing the meaning of “women,” and “men.”
Thank you for that clarification.

You're creating another strawman...and twisting my comment.
Trans people can use whatever language they want among themselves. It's still a free country (if just barely).
It's when trannies (and you) try to control the words that the rest of us that I have a problem.

I have no power to censor people.
I simply like to point out correct use, definition, context of language that I think is being abused or even fraudulent. This is more for the edification of readers who may not be aware of it’s miss-use. It is not an effort to censor or punish those who are being deceitful.

I’m wishing you the best, and praying for your complete, uneventful recovery. What a thing to have to face. I’ve lost two friends to pancreatic cancer, and one to bowel cancer. Each was found in its last stages. Thankfully, yours is found earlier while a successful outcome is more likely.
Still, you face a heavy burden.

Thanks. A Whipple procedure wasn't on my bingo card for 2024. Hoping to return to full time employment once released from the hospital. I'll have a better grasp on the path forward after the pathology department examines the extracted parts of my digestive tract. They take nearby lymph nodes "just in case". Often there is a follow-up with radiation or chemo to mop up anything missed. Having experienced 3000 RADs through my gut in 1985, I'm not anxious for a repeat.

Words mean something and when new age opportunists attempt to corrupt the meaning of words, correcting them is not a bad thing.
Orwellian/Marxian purveyors are the corrupters of traditional understanding. I don't attempt to control anyone.

LOL! You’re right. I’ve always hated that one.
The apostrophied “it’s” is a contraction of “it is”. I know that. But so many possesives have an apostrophe-S, so it seems like “it” should get that too. >.<
