I hate when streamers/gamers/etc refer to procedural generation as "ai generated". It's infuriating.
I particularly "Love" that a bunch of like, procedural generation and search things that have existed for years are now calling themselves "AI" (without having changed in any way) because marketing.
Reminds me of how everything on a computer used to be a "program", but now they're all just "apps"
I will die on the hill of calling them computer programs.
Same. It's like the one thing where I am a total boomer on
My pet theory is that Apple started to use that term because "App" can also be short for "Apple".
I buy it
It just works
What's a computer?
I read a story on CBC the other day that was all about how an AI voice was taking over from hosts on off-hours at some local radio station, then deeper in the article it revealed that everything the "AI" reads was written by a human. So it was about someone using text-to-speech technology that has been around since at least the 70s the whole time. Hardly newsworthy in any way except for "IT'S AI!"
Mind you there -are- TTS tools that use machine learning (which is what advertisers call "AI" now) for more realistic voices. No idea if the radio was using those at all though.
Oh man this one drives me up the wall too.
Someone literally with a straight face said how cool Minecraft has AI generated worlds and I wanted to flip a table.
