I think if we stopped referring to these systems as AI the threat model won't seem so overhyped.

- simonw 3y agoOddly enough I just wrote a post about why I think we should stop trying not to call them "AI": https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jan/7/call-it-ai/ https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jan/7/call-it-ai/

- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI appreciate this argument and I think I have been slowly doing it more without thinking about it. “AI” is just what it’s called now. Also in your notes you talk about the “it’s not actually intelligent” and I agree it’s a distraction. I feel like a software system can contain certain knowledge and when asked it can produce responses which in a narrow sense appear intelligent. And so I think that is intelligence, it just makes us somewhat uncomfortable to see intelligence appear in such a transparently simple system. But I don’t think that discomfort actually means the system isn’t intelligent.
