Yes, because our society rampantly abuses language ignoring the actual meanings of words.
As far as science fiction goes, it's irrelevant - we live in the real world and have had AI for a long time now (e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertie_the_Brain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertie_the_Brain).
- glassounds 2y agoMy point is that when people say AGI they don't mean a super sophisticated version of a game engine's enemy behavioral mechanics. Sci-fi is many times a speculative guess about the possible future of technology, IMO its not completely irrelevant as an insight into what people mean or expect when they say certain things about future tech.
- robertlagrant 2y agoNo, the meanings are just different. 60 years ago AI was a clever imperfect search of an array. There are multiple meanings. Yours is not the only one.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoYeah, I think you're the one that's abusing the meaning of words, if you're calling that an AI. AI does not mean "a very simple program that responds to human input in some way".
