This has been said a lot, but it has to be said again:

Please stop calling slop machines 'artificial intelligence'!

It is a marketing term. By framing those machines as intelligent, the companies building them are trying to make us believe that their products are more than stolen data, wasteful hardware, and statistics. But they are not!

We have to educate people what those machines really are, and that starts with taking away the false mystery created by advertising!
