On the subject of precise language and “artificial intelligence,” I also really like this piece from Emily Tucker on power, technology, and language, and why the Center on Privacy & Technology "will stop using the terms 'artificial intelligence,' ‘AI,' and 'machine learning.’"

I'm waiting for somebody to jump in with "but people are already an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface" and not to get ahead of myself but congratulations, notional jumper-in, you are neurodivergent in the direction of tremendous ongoing economic utility in the LLM era.

one reason the framing as "AI" is so bad is that it makes people think "interact with this like a person" when in fact the only way to make it remotely useful is "interact with it like an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface"
This is really a huge part of why upper management is so in on AI. They think it will let them manage computers the way they currently manage the people who make the computer work. It will not.
I'm just saying I had someone tell me I had to hold the AI accountable and and no no I don't. That was not the effective way to coax it into doing the thing I wanted

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AI’s massive power demands—and Trump’s done a lot to make it easier for them. Heidy Khlaaf, the head AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, tells us why that’s dangerous.
