You’re totally, technically correct and I apologise :)
Reading this back it seems I’ve had a kneejerk reaction to seeing the word “AI” slapped onto a basic chatbot. I appreciate that yes, by all metrics it’s an AI - yet it draws a parallel between this kind of Hello-World chat-bot and the current state of AI, which I felt is misleading. Like comparing a canoe to a cruise ship, you know?
Im not attempting to “gatekeep” anything. I’m pointing out that drawing a parallel between a keyword-based chat it script and a full LLM is disingenuous.
I did click your link. The accepted answer there states:
"The term artificial intelligence denotes behavior of a machine which, if a human behaves in the same way, is considered intelligent.
Again, I don’t think that selecting basic responses based on keywords found in the string meets the criteria for being qualified as an AI, as anyone with experience of a chat bot this simple knows it won’t hold up the illusion of “intelligence” for very long.
I did mean “equate”, you’re correct. The rest of my point remains - a very simple chat-bot like this is leaps and bounds from what would be termed an AI these days. To equate the two is misleading.
Selecting a canned-text response based on simple keywords is a long way from AI, and it’s foolish to equivocate equate the two of them.
Also, chill tf out, and don’t be so aggressively presumptious. I have enough experience with the topics in question to point out how misleading this statement is.
A bunch of IF statements don’t qualify as an AI. That’s not how that works.
But I need my cuda :(
People out there making coffe with something other than water as a base? I’m so fucking confused.
Grind beans, pass through water = coffee.
Are people passing hot milk through it? That must be a pain to clean out the machine.
