So what is the best way out of that uncomfortable, untenable space? We think one key step is disaggregating the (non-coherent) set of technologies sold as "AI". If you don't fall for the marketing gimmick telling you all this stuff you work with is "AI", you aren't saddled with trying to defend any of the rest of it.

Another banger piece from Emily Bender, probably the world's foremost authority on LLM-based technologies. I highly recommend this if you are often saddled with talking to people who believe "AI" is a magic future device that will save us all. Or whatever the hell they are saying these days
