Please be specific when warning about "AI" in software!

AI is just a buzzword for machine learning, and we all use machine learning every day. VTubing wouldn't exist without it (face tracking). All good TTS is using ML, and that's fine, if it's consensually and ethically trained.

Good ML runs on your phone and didn't require scraping the internet to train, and has existed for many years.

What the techbros are pushing isn't just any AI/ML, it's a particularly bad version of it.
