    wow what utter horseshit

    AI, as I’m sure you are all aware, is a very old concept with useful applications dating back in the 80s.

    the first AI winter happened because those fuckers couldn’t stop grifting academic funds by promising shit that didn’t work. we know the history of the field better than you do. not that you had a point other than wanting to reply guy about a name we didn’t adopt (cause we’re not OpenAI) for a technology all of us strongly dislike.

    fucking pointless shit

      wait a fucking minute

      you came here to lecture us and you think algorithms from the field of AI only started seeing serious use in the 80s? the Mark I Perceptron was built in 1958

      (I admittedly didn’t know about the machine before today, but I know more than enough about AI to know perceptrons as software are old as hell)

        I mean we were talking about usefulness. In any case, Turing is always a good read, with early AI concepts from the 1950

        Which is, again, my point. AI is not just OpenAI and it’s a shame overshadowing the great minds behind it

        Sorry if I did reply again, I’m just glad you could agree useful AI exists
