@GeePawHill Did you read the article? In the beginning, they explain clearly that #AI is only a generic term for different types and how their project of #MachineLearning (!) works. #ML is a special field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning

And no, it doesn't diminish their work. Also climate scientists work with ML. In the EU, we have even state funding programmes.

The only problem: Most people don't know it. They don't know the differences. Therefore I post it: for showing scientifical examples.

@GeePawHill We can no longer get away from the colloquial #AI as a generic term, it's in people's heads and hashtags.

That's why it makes more sense to *specify* what we mean.

#MachineLearning for dealing with huge databases is something different from #generativeAI that creates 7 fingers after stealing images, or a hallucinating Generative Pre-trained Transformer = #GPT that uses #LLM.
(Most people think GPT is a fantasy product name and don't know the meaning of the acronym.)
