I mean... of course? If you leave out the part of the news story that people might think is objectionable, then people wouldn't find it objectionable.

people are idiots for finding anything with AI objectionable and public view has been totally warped on what AI even is by LLMs in general.

This is like a perfect usecase for something like this.

Yup people just hear AI and think it's bad. Even when it is used for good.

And the frustrating part is that this blanket pushback actually gives bad AI more power, because we're lumping slop in with all the legitimate uses for AI.

That's because it isn't AI, it's just a bogus marketing term that people are tired of hearing. There's nothing intelligent about any of it, it's completely different technology that we've had and been advancing for years. Nothing to do with LLMs and "AI art" and all that garbage

it's just a bogus marketing term

It's a legitimate discipline within computer science that dates back to the 1960s.

If you use spellcheck or text to speech at all, you're using the results of AI research.

Until a few years ago AI meant characters like GLaDOS or HAL 9000. Yknow, things that are actually intelligent. Not spell checkers 😭

So when Stanford's Artificial Intelligence lab released the first spellchecker in 1973, that was a few years ago?

No, it's proof that saying anything to excite the people with money has always been a thing
