That's it, lemme know ur thoughts in comments x

Okay, no generated "front-end" assets, like text, music, voice or art, but how much further do we go? Does LLM-generated code count as "developed with AI"? Is it any amount of code, even if only one line, or substantial parts of the final product? Does that apply to the supporting documentation as well? If we want to be very technical, even auto-complete, a function that IDEs* have had for more than a decade, is "generative AI"; same thing with comments generated automatically by the software (the old ones, which only listed the variables used in a function and their type, not the new comments that "interpret" what's actually happening in the code).

Does this sound like what-aboutism? Probably. All I'm trying to say is, if people are going to use a binary classification of AI/Not-AI, like Steam started doing, there needs to be a very, very clear definition of what AI is in this context.

* for any readers who don't know, IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment and is a specialized software that, at its most basic, allows the writing and running of code. Most modern IDEs have many extra functionalities, including auto-complete and -correct, integration with cloud, and the dreaded LLM GenAI.

It’s a good question, and one with quite a long answer and I’m on holiday so have all the time in the world. Apologies in advance but also ‘Look what you made me do’.

Edit after I wrote all this: I’ve tried to answer your question in the first few paragraphs but naturally I’ve went off on one. Hopefully it provides a bit of context if you fancy a longer read. It looks more at the different critiques of GenAI.

I'm a software engineer and not a data scientist, so I'm not exactly at the level of domain expert. But I work with data scientists, and I have at least rudimentary college-level knowledge of machine learning and linear algebra from my CS degree. So I want to give some quick guidance.

What is AI? And what is not AI?

So what's the difference between just a computer program, and an "AI" program? Computers can do a lot of smart things, and companies love the idea of calling anything that seems smart enough "AI", but industry-wise the question of "how smart" a program is has nothing to do with whether it is AI.

A regular, non-AI computer program is procedural, and rigidly defined. I could "program" traffic light behavior that essentially goes { if(light === green) { go(); } else { stop();} }. I've told it in simple and rigid terms what condition to check, and how to behave based on that check. (A better program would have a lot more to check for, like signs and road conditions and pedestrians in the street, and those things will still need to be spelled out.)

An AI traffic light behavior is generated by machine-learning, which simplistically is a huge cranking machine of linear algebra which you feed training data into and it "learns" from. By "learning" I mean it's developing a complex and opaque model of parameters to fit the training data (but not over-fit). In this case the training data probably includes thousands of videos of car behavior at traffic intersections. Through parameter tweaking and model adjustment, data scientists will turn this crank over and over adjusting it to create something which, in very opaque terms, has developed a model that will guess the right behavioral output for any future scenario.

A well-trained model would be fed a green light and know to go, and a red light and know to stop, and 'green but there's a kid in the road' and know to stop. A very very well-trained model can probably do this better than my program above, because it has the capacity to be more adaptive than my rigidly-defined thing if the rigidly-defined program is missing some considerations. But if the AI model makes a wrong choice, it is significantly harder to trace down why exactly it did that.

Because again, the reason it's making this decision may be very opaque. It's like engineering a very specific plinko machine which gets tweaked to be very good at taking a road input and giving the right output. But like if that plinko machine contained millions of pegs and none of them necessarily correlated to anything to do with the road. There's possibly no "if green, go, else stop" to look for. (Maybe there is, for traffic light specifically as that is intentionally very simplistic. But a model trained to recognize written numbers for example likely contains no parameters at all that you could map to ideas a human has like "look for a rigid line in the number". The parameters may be all, to humans, meaningless.)

So, that's basics. Here are some categories of things which get called AI:

"AI" which is just genuinely not AI

There's plenty of software that follows a normal, procedural program defined rigidly, with no linear algebra model training, that companies would love to brand as "AI" because it sounds cool.

Something like motion detection/tracking might be sold as artificially intelligent. But under the covers that can be done as simply as "if some range of pixels changes color by a certain amount, flag as motion"

2. AI which IS genuinely AI, but is not the kind of AI everyone is talking about right now

"AI", by which I mean machine learning using linear algebra, is very good at being fed a lot of training data, and then coming up with an ability to go and categorize real information.

The AI technology that looks at cells and determines whether they're cancer or not, that is using this technology. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the technology that can take an image of hand-written text and transcribe it. Again, it's using linear algebra, so yes it's AI.

Many other such examples exist, and have been around for quite a good number of years. They share the genre of technology, which is machine learning models, but these are not the Large Language Model Generative AI that is all over the media. Criticizing these would be like criticizing airplanes when you're actually mad at military drones. It's the same "makes fly in the air" technology but their impact is very different.

3. The AI we ARE talking about. "Chat-gpt" type of Generative AI which uses LLMs ("Large Language Models")

If there was one word I wish people would know in all this, it's LLM (Large Language Model). This describes the KIND of machine learning model that Chat-GPT/midjourney/stablediffusion are fueled by. They're so extremely powerfully trained on human language that they can take an input of conversational language and create a predictive output that is human coherent. (I am less certain what additional technology fuels art-creation, specifically, but considering the AI art generation has risen hand-in-hand with the advent of powerful LLM, I'm at least confident in saying it is still corely LLM).

This technology isn't exactly brand new (predictive text has been using it, but more like the mostly innocent and much less successful older sibling of some celebrity, who no one really thinks about.) But the scale and power of LLM-based AI technology is what is new with Chat-GPT.

This is the generative AI, and even better, the large language model generative AI.

Most species when joining the galactic community go through a standard and well documented series of events.

Either they or a member of the Galactic Council of Worlds begins detecting the various messages being sent across space, begins to triangulate the signals, and then finally sends out their own messages directly.

From here multiple observation drones would be dispatched to the new species system with a steady stream of information relayed back to allow the numerous members of the Ministry of Language to decipher the new native tongue and begin creating a complex program to be uploaded into translator units that would allow council members to properly communicate with the new species.

Lastly, after reviewing all the data a select delegation of council members would be assembled and then dispatched to the new home world to initiate diplomatic talks formally. The majority of results from these talks being provisional membership into the galactic community, the granting of sovereign territory of their system if they wished to remain independent, or a declaration of war should the newly discovered species be proven too hostile for civil discourse to be carried out.

This is how it had been for nearly three hundred years since the founding of the GCW and not much had ever drifted from these repeated outcomes.

That was until humanity showed up at the GCW capital planet unannounced.

During the universal year 7539-1, an unknown vessel emerged from a portal apparatus directly within the orbit of the GCW capital planet of Terunda.

A long rapier like ship of steel grey materialized in the middle of the busiest traffic lanes linking the orbital docks to the surface spaceports causing several dozen freighters and cargo haulers to divert course before colliding head on with the ship which dwarfed nearly every other vessel in system by a factor of 1.5x at least.

System defense forces were scrambled while a call was put out for the sector fleet to dispatch assistance at once. The problem however was that with the unknown vessel emerging within the space between the orbital docks and the planet none of the SDF forces could engage the ship without risk of mass civilian casualties as a result; either by missed weapon fire turning into orbital strike, or debris from the engagement becoming an orbiting cloud of shrapnel that would circle the globe for generations causing untold chaos amongst the traffic lanes.

The GCW council was summoned and a diplomatic core was being comprised when the ship emitted a bright green glow of energy. This field expanded outwards like a giant sphere from the unknown ship, enveloping the entire planet and orbital docks before receding back towards the vessel.

Without warning a message was broadcast from the ship across all frequencies, both civilian and military, and the voice of the unknown aliens was heard for the first time.

Once the message was completed a bright blue portal opened in front of the grey vessel and the ship lazily drifted through it with the power of what appeared to be sublight engines. No sooner had the ship crossed entirely through the event horizon of the blue portal did it and the portal vanish leaving untold millions confused and distraught.

The message was recorded and gone over by the Ministry of Language while entire teams from the Ministry of Science were dispatched to study the energy residue left behind by the vessel’s mode of transportation in hopes of discovering some clue as to its mechanisms. Both endeavors were to result in failure however as without a basis for the alien tongue no context could be given, and the teleportation technology used was several millennia ahead of anything the current scientists had in R&D.

It would take another three hundred years before the GCW finally made contact again with humanity at the outskirts of their colony worlds in the Durgin Belt that these questions would be answered.

With the old records brought forth and the new context of the human language inputted they finally deciphered what the first human vessel had spoken to them all those centuries ago.
