Stallman intervened in the Q&A section of "AI in a Closed World", objecting to the term Artificial Intelligence
After a lengthy discussion, RMS said he'd rather call it "Machine Learning."
And there we are, once again reducing a technological revolution to a petty lexicological argument, just like the "Free Software" vs "Open Source Software" flamewars 20 years ago 🤦♀️
@nowherefast Correct or not, we should accept that most people will say AI and ML interchangeably. Interrupting them to point out that it's incorrect will make us sound like picky nerds, and derail the conversation from more crucial topics, such as:
How do we design, train and fine-tune free and open models?
Who will cover the huge infrastructure costs?
Can we realistically match or exceed the capabilities of existing proprietary models?
I didn't watch this talk, but according to you it happened during a QnA session. At that time most of the things the presenter had to say had been said. Why are you calling it an "interruption"? QnA sessions are designed for such discussions.
