I've thought up a new, more apt, acronym for 'AI': MGA (machine generated algorithm). I don't think it's got any major associations, at least insofar far as a Google search would get me

I like the suggestion, I do think there's some potential confusion with the association of the almighty social media "algorithm", at least for more casual observers. I've heard some more technical folks using the term "Statistical Inference Machine" which I do think presents what is talked about as AI more earnestly. Makes it clear that it only serves to make associations, no "intelligence", etc.

I think that most social media algorithms are machine learned, and would qualify as 'AI' under the current, extremely vague, usage of the term. But, I do quite like 'Statistical Inference Machine', 'SIM' has a good ring to it (perhaps too good, too marketable). Though, I'm concerned it might imply too much human handedness

I think much of what you have to say is very interesting, and often hits the (proverbial) nail on the (proverbial) head. Among that which I despise, about generative 'AI', is that it is not artificial intelligence at all. These grifters have commandeered a phrase that they're product is devoid of, and thus made the phrase itself devoid. I have long been interested in real independent non-organic intelligence, but

... now I fear the pursuit of such a development will be, likely already is, stalled indefinitely. For this reason, I suggest pushing back against their premise of 'AI' and carving out a more accurate term, though I'm yet to find anything that properly suits, myself. My apologies for the rant, and, indeed, a very insightful website you have - which I intend to return to and continue, perhaps complete, reading.

Hey, really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I agree, the term AI is misleading as it conjures images of things like SHODAN and the like, which we wouldn't even be in the same universe as with their current construction. If you do come up with or run into anything better, please let me know. Thank you again for reading and commenting!
