The real state of “artificial intelligence”
Read more…: The real state of “artificial intelligence”I’m hearing people sing the praises of “AI” services like ChatCGP and Grok2. Tech companies, including my own employer, are pushing this idea that their products contain “artificial ingelligence”. It’s the new marketing buzzword.
