@onion @futurebird Yes, this is a good point. The term "AI" has been falsely slapped onto things that don't even make sense for a very very long time now. Often enough it just means "really complex algorithms specifically designed for a specific purpose." (Which is kind of as not actually AI as anything can possibly be not actually AI since AI, by definition, must be more general.) It is frequently used as just a buzzword or marketing hype...

So "they used 'AI'" could very well just mean they have specially designed algorithms for the task, in which case there is a whole different meaning here...

As a side note, this is why I frigging hate everyone just letting these people just call everything "AI." It should be called what it is and the scam should not be perpetrated.
