All the things you listed are tools … ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.
Computers are tools in exactly the same way. A person isn’t moving data from one memory location to another. That’s automated by the processor.
You could say the same about a table saw: a human isn’t separating sequences of molecules with their hands, it’s automated by a machine.
AI is not different from the above tools.
My argument isn’t “bad faith” just because you disagree with it; your lack of understanding is not sufficient to disprove the assertion. Come prepared, or don’t come.
So you’re telling me that you have a table saw that can stand up, walk to the wood pile, grab a plank, measure to size, line it up, and push it over the blade if you say “I need a two foot 2x4”? Because that is the level of automaton that we’re talking about with ai. The human makes a request, the bot does all the work.
But nevermind, I just looked into your comment history and you obviously don’t have the mental faculties for an intelligent conversation on this subject. Have a nice life, I’m out.
Your obviously bad faith argument excludes the distinction between tool and automaton.
All the things you listed are tools. They are objects that assist humans with performing a process.
“Generative” ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.
Hiring someone to draw a picture and then signing your name on it doesn’t make you an artist, and that’s exactly what every ai “”“artist”“” is doing.
