The kicker:

The system isn’t purely run on AI. It also relies on human input to help it learn and become more accurate.

And then

And so far it’s getting high marks from employees

(no employees interviewed or cited)

Who call it “Bo-Linda”

Love to regurgitate company PR material as fact

    There is a disconnect between what computer scientists understands as AI and what the general public understands as AI. This was previously not a problem, nerds give confusing names to stuff all the time, but it became a problem after this latest hype cycle where incurious laypeople are in charge of the messaging (or in a less charitable interpretation, benefit from fear of the singularity™). Doesn’t help that scientific communication is dogshit.

      There would be no hype cycle without it being sold as AI
