The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that’s the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.
I recall my AI class discussed a bunch of different things that people call AI that don’t come anywhere near “replacement human”. For instance, the AI in red alert 2 has some basic rules about buildings and gathering a certain number of units and send them the players way.
Obviously, RA2s “AI” isn’t being used for labour discipline and llms are massively overhyped but I think getting hung up on the word is… idk, kinda a waste of time (as I feel like a lot of this thread is)
I think people are allowed to be annoyed, but if thats all you want to talk about i think its a waste of energy? It’s just language, we can call it flubbon if you like and move the conversation along.
Unless we want to get bogged down talking about whether band aids “medical adhesive strips”, which is a perfectly fine conversation to have if that’s what both participants want to talk about.
