    You said “they literally do analyze text” when that is not, literally, what they do.

    And no, we don’t “all know” that. Lay persons have no way of knowing whether AI products currently in use have any capacity for genuine understanding and reasoning, other than the fact that the promotional material uses words like “understanding”, “reasoning”, “thought process”, and people talking about it use the same words. The language we choose to use is important!

      No it’s not. It’s pedantic and arguing semantics. It is essentially useless and a waste of everyone’s time.

      It applies a statistical model and returns an analysis.

      I’ve never heard anyone argue when you say they used a computer to analyse it.

      It’s just the same AI bad bullshit and it’s tiring in every single thread about them.

        I never made any “AI bad” arguments (in fact, I said that they may be incredibly well suited to this) I just argued for the correct use of words and you hallucinated.
