    You are not, though.

    Also, word meaning isn't "defined" to begin with.

    Layfolk call dictionary entries "definitions" because, well, layfolk are ignorant of how dictionaries are made.

    Also, you will find no "definition" saying that "machine translation" is defined as "AI".

    You're grasping for straws in an extremely obvious manner that tells me you already know you're out of your depth, and you just don't want to admit it.

    @atomicpoet

    So you are engaging in a shell game.

    Anything that is useful is no longer [the thing it has been called for ages], rather now it's "AI" and "has always been called AI".

    It's disingenuous to a point where I have to ask: Are you the CEO of a tech firm?

    @atomicpoet Reasonable.

    However, the AI bubble is still a bubble for exactly the opposite reasons: The technology is a dud. It is worthless for everything except fraud and harassment, and it is buoyed entirely by abject and obvious lies.

    Will there still be LLMs around in 20 years?
    Sure.

    And they will be as mediocre as now, and be used mainly for fraud and harassment then too.

    Yeah, there are a lot of different flavors of underground domains available.

    Come to think of it, this "there are different flavors of dungeons" idea is central to most of the Elder Scrolls games.

    Oh that does sound good.

    Now I am imagining the brainstorming session:

    "What if we ask the Venetians to help?"
    "What if we ask the kobolds?"
    "What if we all enroll in a Black School, and just stay for the shelter?"

    @juergen_hubert But, Abel was the grandson of the first Valdemar, so clearly haunted hunting runs in the family 😄

    As an aside, a King named Abel that doesn't quietly die, but has to be staked and sunk into a mire ... that for sure has roleplaying game potential.

    And I am forcibly reminded of the Cainite Heresy from VtM Dark Age : a brother-killer named Abel is the perfect reversal of the Cain story, after all.

    Funnily, the Danish incarnation of the wild hunt is Valdemar I, the Great.

    At least that is how it is portrayed in a song by B.S. Ingemann: the joyous court had much fun hunting, but neglected piety, and even now the ghostly entourage can be seen chasing across the fields near Gurre castle:

    Valdemar I is sort of the bridge between the viking ages and medieval Denmark.

    His upbringing was quite viking-ish, with fost-brothers (one of whom was the later archbishop Absalon, a warlike fellow who liked hunting wendish pirates).

    Maybe there was something to that piety thing after all 😄

    @juergen_hubert It's always the Swedes, said the Dane.

    (But Visby was later a Hansa stronghold, so that is interesting also)

    @juergen_hubert

    Yeah. The dangers of AI is climate destruction.

    Not "what shall we do with all this instant perfection that AI will provide".

    It doesn't provide any of that, nor will it.

    True.

    Some of them are holy-coded, aren't they?

    Some sort of quasi-angelic spirit in those cases.

    @juergen_hubert The Venetians might be sort of an exception.
