Richard M. Stallman: Stop Calling Slop "AI"
Earlier this year: Richard M. Stallman Has Published AI Memos Since 1980 (45 Years Ago)
A month ago Richard M. Stallman (RMS) said in his political blog, the context being slop: "We can help reduce the impact of this problem by firmly refusing to call them any sort of "intelligence". Please join in!"
The fuller context:
3 days earlier he wrote: "Cloudflare is leading a campaign for websites to tell Google they do not permit using their pages to train a bullshit generator. This is to pressure Google Search (and other search engines) to stop displaying bullshit summaries instead of search results about those sites."
He speaks of "bullshit generators" and "bullshit summaries" (or "a [so-called] AI Overview").
He also casually says "[so-called] AI chatbots". He says this a lot and rightly so in fact; as if to - out of sheer principles - refuse to use the word "AI" in this context. █
Earlier this month: "AI" is a Lie. It Always Was. What They Call "AI" Is Not.
