AI is just tech-priest lingo for "computer program we want to pretend is sentient so you stop blaming us for all its flaws".

To use a parallel: if you train me to make the same sounds someone makes when speaking a khoisan language, that does not mean I speak khoisan.

Try that one on any technophile you know, see if they can parse it. Most can't since the machines they work with cannot talk back at them.

Edited because swedish and english spells "parallel" differently for some silly reason: the pronouciation is virturally identical.

I do not think that AI will ever be sentient. It's a pipe dream by arrogant people who are enamoured with their own intelligence and lack the humility necessary for a decent life.
