Yeah, but we're not looking at the root cause here. Their purpose is to train energy glutton, error prone "AI" even if experience teaches us that those ML models fuck up more often than confirmation bias allows.

"AI" is a bourgeoise and Capitalist tool and, same as with cryptocurrency, we cannot dismantle the master's house with the master's tools. Fuck AI down the drain. Make things with your own minds, your own hands.

Actually, lots of indie games use AI to control enemies and NPCs. Like Hades and Ori. I agree that LLMs are crap though.

Genuinely not sure if joking or actually dumb.

I'm making a rhetorical point that LLMs aren't the only kind of AI, and neither is AI what you see in movies.

So you're mixing up two different meaning of AI to say that AI doesn't mean the same thing everywhere? When people are talking about bats, the flying mammals, do you also interject with "bats are use to hit a ball" to make some point? No, because deliberately mixing up homonyms is stupid.

It's pretty clear what kind of AI people are talking about here. Nobody was discussing game AI.

I never understood why people called enemy bots 'AI' in games.

No, it's the same meaning. AI is a constructed agent that solves problems using intelligence.

Maybe in some very broad strokes, but in very broad strokes legs and cars are also the same because they move you from point A to point B.
