@eff @pluralistic @arstechnica Ah, so the whole "AI" thing is transforming from a simple grift to an MLM-like cult. I've been expecting that.

Consider an automation algorithm that fails because its task is mathematically unsolvable due to contradictory definitions or too many variables.
10 years ago, it would've been called an example of overengineering.
Every anthropomorphic feature you ascribe to a machine exists only in your head, only in your imagination. Recognition, generative, hallucinating, and - above all - intelligence. Machines are capable of none of these things.

Further update on "Dudesy" and George Carlin: The Carlin estate has brought a federal lawsuit against misogynist hack writers Chad Kultgen and Will Sasso, who have since revealed that the fake "Carlin special," which was alleged to have been written by an AI, was in fact entirely written by Kultgen.
'Josh Schiller, a lawyer for the Carlin estate, said the lawsuit that was filed in Federal District Court in California would move forward despite the podcast’s backtracking of the A.I. claims.
“We don’t know what they’re saying to be true,” he said. “What we will know is that they will be deposed. They will produce documents, and there will be evidence that shows one way or another how the show was created.”'
