A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Almost a good take. Except that AI doesn't exist on this planet, and you're likely talking about LLMs.

You're using AI to mean AGI and LLMs to mean AI. That's on you though, everyone else knows what we're talking about.

Words have meanings. Marketing morons are not linguists.

I've given up trying to enforce the traditional definitions of "moot", "to beg the question", "nonplussed", and "literally" it's helped my mental health. A little. I suggest you do the same, it's a losing battle and the only person who gets hurt is you.
