edit to clarify a misconception in the comments, this is an instagram post so ācaptionā refers to the description under the image or video
as an example, this text i am typing now is also a ācaptionā
just saying because someone started a debate misunderstanding this to be about subtitles (aka āclosed captionsā) and thatās just not the case š
Understandable, AI marketing now is a shitshot, but they are not even AI I think. Just people forget that tech used to do magic before AI existed.
This is a big part of it. Back when ai was first becoming big, my manager said they needed to run all my kb articles through an ai to generate link clouds or some such.
I was like ummā¦ thatās a service this platform has always offeredā¦? Like just because you donāt know what the kb tools do, or what our rock bottom subscription gets us, doesnāt mean I havenāt looked into itā¦ but that also isnāt worth doing because now we only have a handful of articles in any given category because Iām good at my jobā¦
Itās kind of the other way around, weāve always had AI, it used to just basically mean a computer making some decision based on data. Like a thermostat changing the heating in response to a temperature change.
Then we got LLMs and because they are good at pretending to have complex reasoning ability, AI as a term started to always mean ācomputer with near human level intelligenceā which of course they are absolutely not.
There was a book I canāt remember, the whole thesis was exactly that. āAI is whatever automates the decision making processā not any group of algos
