ftfa "They added that the bomb was a high-tech device that used artificial intelligence." really curious about the AI part of this. Maybe it had a camera and detonated when it identified the target by facial recognition? "AI" is used to mean so many things, many readers will associate this with something like chatgpt where it doesn't remotely make sense. I think the authors are doing that on purpose. I've listened to a NYT "The Daily" news podcasts about drones used in the Ukraine war and the authors were intentionally using the "AI" umbrella to draw a parallel between something like target identification in weapons and LLMs like chatgpt. the only rational reason to do that is to stoke fear/anxiety in their listeners. The journalists are plenty smart to know "AI" means many many things and they should qualify how they're using the terms so the newspiece can make sense.
