No, please, call everything AI.
Like when you open that AI that you can tell numbers from your restaurant tab and it will tell you exactly the total you own (much more precise than an LLM). Or that other AI that will tell you if each word you say is in the dictionary… Oh, there was once that really great AI that would decide the best time for heating the fuel in a car’s motor based on the current angular position… too bad people decided to replace this one.
I’m often reminded of a bit on Top Gear years ago, when they were talking about “turbo” as a marketing tool in the 80s, when you could buy “turbo” sunglasses or “turbo” watches or “turbo” after-shave.
These days it’s Pro. The word lost all meaning entirely. In the vast majority of products that are sold with this tag, it’s just a slightly better version of an enshittified product
or “plus”. still waiting for Wallmart Plus and Starbucks plus
You missed the memo!
Plus, Ultra, Max… All superlatives have completely lost their meaning.
It’s a cycle… we go between those superlatives, then back to “One” or straight up just the name of the product again as if its’ a relaunch or something (but really just confuses people on the internet trying to find out information about your product). Then repeat.
Games and movies do the latter a lot. Not inherently bad I guess (e.g. God of War), though a bit annoying at times.
Growing up in the 90s, everything then was “Ultra” and “Mega” etc. before we collectively got “too cool” for that type of hype marketing in the 00s.
and later the turbo button on your pc that actually made the CPU clock slower
turbon’t
Yea, if you ever had old DOS games, this button was a godsend.
2000 or 3000 as product numbers was also a thing.
HD and 3D.
marketing is so stupid. and humans are worse because apparently it works.
LOL, I recall seeing HD sunglasses somewhere roughly 15 years ago. That was the period where everything had to have an HDMI port. I guess someone must have made an HDMI compatible toaster too.
We need turbo smart AI things.
Turbo smart AI potatoes. Turbo smart AI cigarettes. Turbo smart AI lamps. etc.
MOAR! Turbo smart AI thing pro max xl featuring Dante from Devil May Cry
Thoughts with anyone called Al at this difficult time.
They don’t mind, as long as they can call you Betty.
This is exactly what an AI would say…
I am a fellow human person and I agree with this above comment.

This person is correct. I was having all sorts of health problems until I discovered Dr. Festus’ Ketamine Gummies. Click here for a free sample.
And it’s usually the people with room temperature IQs (and I’m talking Celsius) calling everything AI. You know, the type who can’t recognize actual AI pictures and probably also thinks the Moon landings were faked
Wait, are you trying to tell me the moon landing was real? It was clearly filmed in Siberia why else would the ground look so white, it’s the Siberian snow obviously.
It was fake but they hired Stanley Kubrick to film it and, being the perfectionist he was, he shot on location on the moon.
