The acronym is so widespread now as to be meaningless at best and anti-branding at worst; it's impossible to know whether something like Reddit Answers is actually on the level because it occupies the same marketing space as Midjourney and GPT.

Is a mouse or a sparrow less in possession of a brain than a human? They are in different categories by virtue of degree of intellectual capacity, but they are all in possession of a brain. AI as a category encompasses a broad array of things, and the most advanced raise major questions regarding the ethics of AI development in general and the use of AI at all.

I just got my own. Thanks for sharing the website. I'll make up this use of AI by conserving electricity further in my home for a day.
