A few ChatGPT users have noticed a strange phenomenon recently: occasionally, the chatbot refers to them by name as it reasons through problems.

    AI is a broad category that includes everything from image upscalers to music generators to chess engines - none of which have anything to do with surveillance.

      It’s almost like “AI” is just a silly marketing term and not actually descriptive of any of the tools you mentioned.

        There’s nothing wrong with the term itself. Many people just think it means something else than what it actually does.

        Definitions for intelligence:

        • The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
        • the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
        • the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
        • the act of understanding
        • the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
        • It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

        Artificial just means were talking about something man made rather than a biological system.
