  • They are not totally wrong. But not totally right either.

    What we perceive as sexual and how we react to it has strong cultural and social influences, of course there is also the baseline biology.

    There was a time when women’s legs were “tobooed”, since being considered as highly sexual and delibaretly hidden.
    Nowadays it’s no issue at all if women wear clothes that reveal their legs accross all occasions.

    So there is some form of habit to it. If we are used to seeing naked body parts in non-sexual contexts, then we will see similar normalization in this regard as with legs or other body parts and areas.

    We might benefit from normalizing this. Among other effects, this could help to counter many legal and social issues people have with revealed body parts between genders.






  • But yes. Exactly in the use of “Artificial Intelligence”.

    Artificial Intelligence is a wide field, consisting of a plethora of methods. LLMs like ChatGPT are part of this wide field, as per definition how researchers are describing the field.

    The “intelligence” part is an issue though if taken literal, since we have no clear definition of what “intelligence” even is. Neither for human / natural intelligence, nor for artificial. But that’s how the field was labled. We have created a category for a bunch of methods, models and algorithms and sticked “AI” onto it. Therefore I stand by what I have said before:

    It is AI.

    Due to the lack of a clear definition for “intelligence” I would coarsely outline AI as: mimicking natural thinking, problem solving and decision processes without necessarily being identical. (This makes it difficult to distinguish it from plain calculators though, so a better definition is required.) So if we have a model that is able to distinguish cat pictures from non-cat pictures, that’s AI. And if we have “autocorrect on steroids” (credit to Dirk Hohndel) like ChatGPT, that matches the text comprehension skills of 15 year olds (just an example), then this too is AI.
