The internet is AI. I hope you understand what this means.

AI and the internet are one thing.

And the Luddites of our day are fighting shadows in the corners of their minds. Rather telling IYAM.

    “AI” tech bros can’t even define the term. What they’re peddling is a nth degree polynomial regression with a hint of randomness at the end. That’s hardly “intelligent” let alone particularly “artificial.” The term sounded cool, and the end result had a similar enough vibe to what we’ve been groomed from media to be artificial intelligence so marketing coopted it. It’s now become one of those terms that’s so ambiguous you can shove almost anything you want in that big tent:

    • Control a pong paddle–AI!
    • Sucker gooners for money–AI!
    • Advanced search of your restaurant menu–AI!
    • The Internet, I guess if you’re uninformed–AI!
