There isn't any kind of distinction - when people say AI in 2023 they mean ML, LLMs, image models etc.
- graypegg 3y agoNo, I know, the distinction I’m making is that “AI on everything” marketing is going to be the hype bubble. There’s a lot of knee jerk products out there from businesses that were scared of being left behind on the wave of AI that don’t actually add much. “AI powered” could mean an in-house trained deep learning network. Or an api call to ChatGPT. Or single function someone made by tweaking sliders in Desmos calculator till the curve had the right vibe. It’s the slapping “AI” over “black box magic process” that’s going to implode. But there’s obviously massive work being done in ML that will change the world. Something actually worth the hype.
