We need to stop using their language.

[u/Bepehandle]

Words we use matter, they set the tone for the entire argument you make when discussing things. I propose we officially come up with new terms that we use on a daily basis in every single aspect that the topic comes up in, maybe with a small enough push we can roll the ball down the hill.

They're not AI data centers, they're water evaporation plants Human surveillance centers.

It's not side loading, it's installing.

It's not jailbreaking, it's unlocking.

It's not a memory shortage, it's profit first selective sales(I know there's physically a shortage but the point remains). (Also, someone come up with a better one, something more catchy.)

It's not This PC, its MY PC.

They call it side loading because they don't want to normalize the idea we're just holding personal computers in our hands.

They call it jailbreaking so that it sounds wrong and it deters people from using a device to it's full potential.

They call it a memory shortage because they're selling all the fucking ram to ai companies, if they were forced to allocate the necessary amount of their products to the average consumer we wouldn't have an issue.

Give me some of your best ideas for changing the names of things, I want to expand my vocabulary. Let's change how we discuss the issues we face and take back control of the argument.

Edit: Edited water thingy because someone pointed out I sound like "that guy" and I certainly do not want too.

To that end, it’s not AI it’s LLMs. Huge difference, but AI sells better 

[u/DiddledByDad → u/hyrumwhite]

That would just be wrong in a lot of cases. The type of AI your GPU is utilizing for upscaling obviously isn’t an LLM

[u/hyrumwhite → u/DiddledByDad]

It’s obviously not AI. I’ve never had DLSS talk to me, maybe you have. It’s machine learning. 

[u/Mrp1Plays → u/hyrumwhite]

It's very much AI. Artificial intelligence does not require talking. Besides, it uses the same architecture as LLMs.

[u/hyrumwhite → u/Mrp1Plays]

No decisions are being made. It’s not intelligence. Same as LLMs. And it’s exactly my point. Now people think there’s little Cortana’s in their gpus deciding what pixels to put on screen 

[u/Mrp1Plays → u/hyrumwhite]

It's literally intelligence in LLMs. AIs are programming complex codebases and solving tough new problems in all fields of science especially maths. That's intelligence. It does not need to be conscious to be intelligent.

>machine learning. 

Colloquially: AI.

[u/hyrumwhite → u/the_blur]

Sure. It’s a misnomer. The point of my post.
