I finally watched an episode of Big Bang Theory the other day, and wondered what would Sheldon say about AI
Gemini admits Sheldon would not be impressed:
His primary and most consistent refrain would be to immediately correct anyone using the term "Artificial Intelligence." He would insist that current models are merely "glorified probability engines" or "statistical parrots". He would loudly declare, "Actually, it's not intelligence, it's pattern recognition."
He would likely deride the use of the term "AI" as a mere marketing gimmick that "waters down the term intelligence".
He would find it infuriating that it could sound intelligent but would quickly reveal its limitations when pressed on complex, non-extrapolatory problems.
He might joke that it is "a poor man's Sheldon Cooper", but he would probably attempt to use it to perform tedious social tasks, like drafting text messages for Amy or replacing Raj for his non-scientific conversations.
He would show deep contempt for the massive, non-scientific financial hype surrounding the AI industry, believing that venture capitalists are pouring billions into sophisticated "autocomplete machines" while more fundamental scientific research goes unfunded.
In essence, he would see the current state of AI not as a revolution of intelligence, but as a demonstration of superior statistical processing that still falls laughably short of genuine human consciousness and creativity—a failing he would be only too happy to point out to everyone around him.

Remember how hard they fought against work from home, which had measurable positive impacts on productivity (when implemented and managed according to common WFH best practices) and even bigger positive impacts on employees? Now look at how hard they're fighting to implement a technology that can't replace workers and provides no measurable benefits to companies.

To this fucking day no one is able to say, in plain english, what any of this shit is supposed to do for a company.
- "Turn raw AI technology into useful business solutions"
- "optimises the synergy of data"
- "help organizations transform business operations"

I mean if you don't understand what "optimizes the synergy of data" means, I'm sure we could use some crayons to explain to you

I refuse to believe that you have any uneaten crayons left to do so with.
That wins “retort du jour”
