edit to clarify a misconception in the comments, this is an instagram post so “caption” refers to the description under the image or video

as an example, this text i am typing now is also a “caption”

just saying because someone started a debate misunderstanding this to be about subtitles (aka “closed captions”) and that’s just not the case 👍

    Understandable, AI marketing now is a shitshot, but they are not even AI I think. Just people forget that tech used to do magic before AI existed.

      It’s kind of the other way around, we’ve always had AI, it used to just basically mean a computer making some decision based on data. Like a thermostat changing the heating in response to a temperature change.

      Then we got LLMs and because they are good at pretending to have complex reasoning ability, AI as a term started to always mean “computer with near human level intelligence” which of course they are absolutely not.

        There was a book I can’t remember, the whole thesis was exactly that. “AI is whatever automates the decision making process” not any group of algos

      This is a big part of it. Back when ai was first becoming big, my manager said they needed to run all my kb articles through an ai to generate link clouds or some such.

      I was like umm… that’s a service this platform has always offered…? Like just because you don’t know what the kb tools do, or what our rock bottom subscription gets us, doesn’t mean I haven’t looked into it… but that also isn’t worth doing because now we only have a handful of articles in any given category because I’m good at my job…
