This discussion about whether AI is useful reminds me about the first chapter of AI Snake Oil

The word AI has sort of become meaningless. I think we are all talking about different forms of "AI"

"AI" as seen by some people could indeed be useless

Imagine an alternate universe in which people don’t have words for different forms of transportation, only the collective noun “vehicle.” They use that word to refer to cars, buses, bikes, spacecraft, and all other ways of getting from place A to place B. Conversations in this world are confusing. There are furious debates about whether or not vehicles are “environmentally friendly,” but (even though no one realizes it) one side of the debate is talking about bikes and the other side about trucks. There is a breakthrough in rocketry, but when the media focuses on how vehicles have gotten faster, people call their car dealer (oops, vehicle dealer) to ask when faster models will be available. Meanwhile, fraudsters have capitalized on the fact that consumers don’t know what to believe when it comes to vehicle technology, so scams are rampant in the vehicles sector. Now replace the word “vehicles” with “artificial intelligence,” and we have a pretty good description of the world we live in. Artificial Intelligence, AI for short, is an umbrella term for a set of loosely related technologies. ChatGPT has little in common with, say, software that banks use to evaluate loan applicants. Both of these are referred to as AI, but in all the ways that matter—how they work, what they’re used for and by whom, and how they fail—they couldn’t be more different

Shortened from the article: Wikimedia Foundation is building new tools that will help Wikipedia editors stay anonymous to avoid harassment & legal threats by Musk & Heritage Foundation. Some of the tactics have been pioneered by Wikimedia in countries where editing Wikipedia is illegal or dangerous.

Qui j'ai oublié ???
