He’s not wrong. He’s talking about what everyone else is talking about and you’re arguing semantics. AI is generic enough of a term that it’s been applied to thousands of things over time. But almost all of the modern hype about “AI” and the stock bubble and everything is referring to the chatbots. I know you know this.

However, it’s irrelevant, Doctorow may have wanted to just discuss chatbots, but that doesn’t mean that’s all I’m allowed to discuss. I’ve tried to make it clear that I’m not just talking about chatbots. If I wasn’t clear enough on that point, I apologise
Now that this has been cleared up, do you have anything further to discuss?
If you have any specific constructive criticism or corrections for me, I’ll happily read them. Otherwise, it seems more like you’re avoiding addressing what I’ve said and just looking to insult me, which I’m sure was not your intent.

You’re not very good at this
