A-ha-ha. The correct translation would've been, "It has become known what it is (which medicine) Russians frequently take when they are ill."
"To take (some kind of medication)" in Russian is "to drink (some kind of medication)."
This title structure is often used for stupid trash content.

Oh, those areas (and further north) are very much actively being populated by the Chinese, who come to do business and just settle down.

...and then you tried to bless us with the insight that the term is being used for different things but you know the only true way it should be used, and when it was pointed out to you that you can't decree how a language community uses a term, you checked out that the person you're talking to...

To meaningfully participate in a discussion, it helps to understand what it is about. To a thread about chatbots, you replied that no, "they" have some uses & then proceeded to point out that when you say "AI", you don't mean chatbots.

You've responded to a couple of skeets where I said meaning of this common term varies (and there is no way out of this situation) with "No, meaning of common terms varies", and it's _me_ who is supposed to have misunderstood something?

...that the term be used only for things you yourself find useful and practical, bc this is not how language works. I suggest you also browse Adam Kucharski's account — he wrote about the problem of how the rate of false positives/negatives for "AI" use that _you_ mean is also v problematic.

Well, that is the problem — not one to be solved linguistically, bc one cannot decree "we'll set THIS as an absolute meaning", but a problem with how "AI" is being pushed on people, which is what the thread is about, so, like OP, I wonder what the discussion is now about. You can't suggest...

So, in a discussion about a use of a thing (or things) where some specialists posit that a relevant problem is what this thing is named (& which thingS the name is being used for), you refuse to actually go onto this meta level and stick to thinking your use of the word is the "absolute" one. ...

...tools for machine recognition of visual patterns, which is what _you_ supposedly call "AI". This is decidedly NOT the "absolute definition", you just want it to be.
You've already been told, it's a marketing weasel term being slapped on different things to help sell them as something new/useful.

"Computers doing wondrous things".
The "younger hip crowd" (which is not "average person on the street") would probably mean chatbots.
Thing is, people who make chatbots (and are presumably "specialists") also label them as "AI". The same company might also be involved in making...

I beg you to read a book. The book by OP. A cytologist is not a specialist in either linguistics (which deals with word meanings) or computer science. If you call ppl who produce "AI" specialists, reading a book by a linguist who analyzed how thes people use the term "AI" will show you that they...

Absolute definitions very rarely exist, & for "AI", there is no "absolute definition" - it's a marketing term applied to at least 4 diff types of things, which you would learn if you read the books about AI suggested in this thread.
Besides, definitions of words can't be but public (I'm simpifying).

He is just channeling the regular vatnik belief that the US is "installing presidents in UA", so he has suggested himself. He fled Ukraine summer 2024.

Treason would be specifically switching to the side of the aggressor (though he is definitely doing that). Bypassing the official leader is not treason, it is just nonsensical megalomania. He does not represent anyone in UA save for some ppl in his constituency (1 of 225 in UA), who were voting...

I happen to know that the WSJ _is_ trying to cut costs by using AI, which at least some of their editors think is The shit, and given that I don't think they would actually run a different kind of find-and-replace tool on anything find-and-replaceable.

. @volksverpetzer.de is suing X in Germany. Maybe some sharing of ideas could take place. X is claiming that moderation would be so burdensome as to cause its bankruptcy (or closing in markets where they have to moderate). That would be a lovely outcome either way.

Bei unserer Klage gegen X argumentieren die Musk-Anwälte, dass eine Meldung strafbarer Inhalte über ihr Meldeformular unzureichend für ihre Haftung sei. Sie argumentieren sogar, die anwaltliche Abmahnung sei unzureichend. Wenn sie das gewinnen, ist X quasi ein rechtsfreier Raum und das DSA nutzlos.
