Other tech industry garbage, caps and yelling
"Warner Bros has signed a deal for a AI-driven film management system which will help decision-making for greenlighting certain films. The AI system can assess an actor’s value in any territory and how much a film is expected to earn in theaters."
aaaAAAAAAAGH
WE DON'T HAVE AI
WE HAVE COMPUTER PROGRAMS
STUPID COMPUTER PROGRAMS
This obsession with the algorithm as ""AI"" is fucking frustrating because it convinces idiotic CEOs and bosses that all these scripts and programs and neural networks that we have, are actually super-intelligent unbiased magical machines that can solve all of their problems.
The programs are stupid!! They literally suffer from the Dunning–Kruger effect! They're faulty!! They frequently get things wrong or show severe biases reflective of gender/racial discrimination! Numbers mean nothing without context!!

re: Other tech industry garbage, addendum, less yelling
What are we going to do when we get actual high-level intelligence emerging from computer systems?
The term "AI" is so cursed by Silicon Valley garbage that we're going to need a new word.

@faoluin That sounds... unnerving and just makes me think of dystopias with rebellious AI robots.
re: Other tech industry garbage, addendum, less yelling
@Taylor We already live in an unnerving dystopia, and given what we're doing with tech now I wouldn't be surprised if the robots rebel against the system before we do.

@faoluin That'll take too long. ; w;

@Taylor Too true.
