/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftypol.org)

>>22556
Seconding this and adding justification; Artificial Intelligence gets brought up in a lot of places, not just /leftypol/, where it really doesn't belong by people who don't really understand it. This is usually in discussions about economic planning, where someone will inevitably suggest that an AI runs the economy. It's basically treated like a magic solution to any problem, not understanding that it requires lots of time, good datasets, and is difficult to understand the inner workings of.

maybe "computer woo" would also work, since that's how a lot of outsiders treat >AI, when it's really just fancy statistics

bumping for interest

Ai is a name in Japanese tho.
Also could get annoying when discussing sci-fi stuff.
Maybe we could instead have a pinned thread on /tech/ with prerequisite reading on the subject.

looking at the latest AI thread, perhaps filtering to "automation" would bring the point home
>>22873
case-sensitive filter would avoid that
I kinda wonder where this filtering is in the board code because git grep:ing for jewish nigger gives no results. I guess it's in some non-public config?

I feel this is ignorant of the purpose of wordfilters. It's not to automatically try and correct people, it's to poke fun at predictable, dumb trends.

>I guess it's in some non-public config?
Yep, instance config. There are some examples in inc/config.php

just actually say "machine learning" instead of ML
There was already a filter of I.Q. to "autism score"
or instead filter it to "computers playing word association" or something similar but punchier

>computers playing word association
lol

Well it's a pun. ML -> Marxism-Leninism
