The article seems to seamlessly go from "computer vision" to "AI" which is an extremely loaded term from the last few years. It feels like the tech could be basically: align two photos separated by a day/week/month, do a difference. Repeat that for tens of thousands of square kilometers.
I'd call that "computer vision". If I explain that to a layperson, I might accidentally say AI, then they think ChatGPT, ..., Skynet, Terminator.
- parineum 3y agoDisregarding fictional things... The idea that computer vision and LLMs are different categories of thing is false, either being called AI is a result of marketing.
- hatthew 3y agoThey are called AI because that is the name of the broader field that encompasses them
- parineum 3y agoThey are Machine Learning, a, so far, unsuccessful attempt at AI. They aren't AI which is why the phrase "True AI" is so commonly used.
- whelp_24 3y agoThe term you are looking for is AGI, never heard of "true ai". And if machine learning failed, why are we using so much it in everyday life?
- parineum 3y agoML failed to produce AI, it's not a failure. AGI is distinct from AI in that one is general and one is not. If you create an AI that can discover new mathematics but it can't write a paper about it, it's not AGI.
- whelp_24 3y agoWe have AI that can and has produced new mathematics. I don't understand what you think AI is. Machine learning enables computers to make decisions about things without explicit programing, and it is done by learning from data. It is a sort of intelligence, if not to the degree that we want (yet).
- hatthew 3y agoI agree with your distinction between AI and AGI. Hasn't ML failed to produce AGI, but been wildly successful in producing AI?
- morkalork 3y agoWhat you call AGI now is what I used to call AI and ML was just ML and statistics to me. But now AI can be everything from hidden markov chains to the computer player in a game as long as it makes a decision or prediction in some kind of of process, no matter how dumb. I gave up arguing about it long ago.
- __rito__ 3y agoIf you use Deep Neural Nets, even for Computer Vision, it's still Deep Learning, and can be categorized as AI.
