Or yet more IT industry bullshit? I&#8217;ve been in the IT industry for many years. I still look back with some amusement at a teacher who told us, a class of 8-9 year olds, that computers were, &#8220;<em>Modern labour-saving machines<\/em>&#8220;. Having spent most of my working life either programming or fixing the bloody things, that claim is somewhat at odds with my own personal experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<blockquote><p><em>The featured image at the top of the page was supposed to be &#8220;Three attractive girls in animal print swimsuits driving red convertible in 1950&#8217;s style&#8221;. The convertible is a greeny grey metallic, and unrecognisable as a car. The girls, whilst attractive have terribly deformed hands, especially the poor lass on our right. Badly deformed hands is a common &#8216;feature&#8217; of today&#8217;s AI generated images. And they are not driving it, they are sitting on it! Granted, some AI can do rather better than this. In fact the generator I used is usually better than this. Or to be more accurate, one has to look harder for the mistakes.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/perchance.org\/ai-photo-generator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/perchance.org\/ai-photo-generator<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<h2>First contact<\/h2>\n<p>I wrote my first program, in BASIC, when I was 16 &#8211; well I was actually 17 when I finished it. In those days, computers were too expensive to have one per college. So we had to write our programs by hand on squared paper and send them off to the LEA HQ in Winchester for processing. Mine kept coming back with errors such as &#8220;SYNTAX ERROR ON LINE 10&#8221;. So I would correct it. Next week in would come back &#8220;SYNTAX ERROR LINE 20&#8221;. Took me a whole term just to draw a sodding circle!<\/p>\n<p>Whilst it did very little to teach me about programming, it did alert me to the general hyperbole and bullshit that continues to surround and infest the IT industry today.<\/p>\n<p>I was delighted in the 1980s to have my own first real(ish) computer. An Amstrad 1640 &#8211; when one with the &#8220;massive&#8221; 32 Megabyte HD and 640kB RAM &#8211; soon to be replaced with a string of 386, 486, pentium, RISC, ARM and various other CPUs. Obviously we have come quite a way since writing BASIC on maths paper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Not so fast<\/h2>\n<p>Nevertheless, in that time, the IT industry continues to bombard us with advertising hype describing its super duper life changing products. Whilst some of its tech has indeed been quite useful, it&#8217;s seldom delivered the sheer scale of change that either its protagonists or its antagonists predicted. Indeed, those of us of a certain age can probably remember when we were told that television would kill books. It didn&#8217;t. UK book sales are their <a class=\"external\" title=\"This link will open in a new window or tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2022\/jan\/11\/uk-book-sales-in-2021-highest-in-a-decade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">highest<\/a> since 2012. Ironically it is broadcast TV that is being replaced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the industry loves to bombard us with clever-sounding bullshit terminology. Most of it is designed simply to part us from our money, combined with a little <em>trumpet blowing<\/em> to persuade us how effing clever the industry is. Here a few of the more egregious examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multimedia = Plays tunes.<\/li>\n<li>Virtual reality = Quite realistic, but only if you think Tom and Jerry cartoons are realistic.<\/li>\n<li>Neural networks =Lots of files with links that let you hop from one file to another.<\/li>\n<li>The cloud = Storing your data on someone else&#8217;s computer.<\/li>\n<li>Data mining = Knowing how to run an SQL query or use a search-engine.<\/li>\n<li>Any device with the word &#8220;Smart&#8221; in its description = A device which is likely to do one or more of the following: cost too much money; annoy; underperform; behave in an unpredictable manner; spy on you; catch fire; fail catastrophically when you most need it to work as advertised.<\/li>\n<li>Artificial Intelligence = Ability to perform lots of complicated sums relatively quickly and give the <em>appearance<\/em> of being quite intelligent sometimes.<\/li>\n<li>Synthetic stupidity = What happens when humans overestimate the power of AI, and it fcuks up again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well OK, I made-up that last one. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<h2>My point<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the hyperbole, AI is <strong>not<\/strong> the same as <em>real<\/em> intelligence. It is still essentially a glorified adding-machine c\/w pseudorandom number generator. and a very big database Granted, &#8220;AI&#8221; will certainly have its uses, especially in architecture, medicine, surgery and various forms of design and engineering. However, AI will <strong>not<\/strong> stop artists painting pictures. AI will <strong>not<\/strong> stop composers writing music.
