A lot of people say they “use AI” but depending on what they actually mean, it could make a world of difference. For example: Dorothy Ann Totenberg, a fictional 80-year-old community librarian from Powder Creek, Kans., may have been trained to “use AI” to generate book recommendations for patrons seeking similar titles to the ones they’ve already enjoyed (even though, sidenote, I bet AI sucks at this).
FBI agent Darian Martinez, a fictional member of the bureau’s deeply secret special forces team, may also “use AI” to hunt down an international criminal posing as a street vendor in Bangladesh, pinning his location to within a dime’s length of where he is standing at an exact moment and triggering the dispatch of Seal Team 31 to silently wipe that person off the face of the earth.
