is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society

It's easy to forget that a good amount of the people 5 years younger than me and more might not have had the news stories about AI deciphering x, detecting cancer in y, and whatnot in z, and so they didn't have a base neutral conception of AI to begin with, that is, of analytic ai. The advent, then, of generative AI has cast the whole of what we (they, the public knows that AI is supposed to be a sentience, not a magic 8 ball on steroids) term "AI" in a negative light, when it's quite important to recall that there's a difference between analytic and generative AI.
