intelligence.” It shows that since the start imprecise jargon was used to make exaggerated promises
with the goal to please investors, claims that fundamentally remain promises to this day.
Although some differentiate AI and non-AI systems by appealing to generative models versus
other types of AI, we are convinced that this does not bring clarity to the discussion, and we can
fall head first into misuse of terminology and fostering industry hype (see Table 1 and Figure 1; cf.
Guest 2025). Granting that distinction, for example, makes classifiers such as Bernoulli naive Bayes,
formally a generative model, AI technology similar to hyped applications (Efron 1975; Jebara 2004;
Mitchell 1997; Ng and Jordan 2001; Xue and Titterington 2008). However, a statistical model like the
Bernoulli naive Bayes classifier, which is used to analyse data, is unrelated to industry hype. By the same
token, spellcheck software (which has not historically been composed of generative nor stochastic
models) also falls under AI in some definitions, but not under others. Similar terminological problems
also hold for phrases like ‘agentic AI’ (Chawla et al. 2024; Hosseini and Seilani 2025) — systems that
can autonomously adapt their environment, make context-sensitive ‘decisions’, and act upon them
without any human intervention. Formally, systems like thermostats, microwave ovens, and traffic
lights are agentic in this sense and fall under AI, but are not products we wish to proscribe. Informally,
however, ‘agentic’ is misused to induce anthropomorphisation that we cannot endorse (cf. Bandura
2001; Barrow 2024; Helfrich 2024).
There is nothing privileged about generative AI, nor any AI technology, in any pedagogical or
sociotechnical sense (see Table 1). Importantly, all technology under our purview as academics, ought
to fall under the same critical considerations. Thus, to frame generative AI as unique or dramatically
different to other AI systems appears anti-intellectual. Recall that gene…

The Euler diagram in Figure 1 demonstrates that such hyped labels — Large Language Model
(LLM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), generative model, chatbot — are interwoven in complicated
ways such that their referents remain ambiguous (cf. Guest 2025). Importantly, this holds under any
rearrangement of the sets and elements: one cannot use these words without encountering additional
problems and fostering ambiguity (Alkhatib 2024). We cannot escape this quagmire with more jargon.
And so, we are convinced that when the technology industry presents use cases for the label generative
AI (such as for LLMs, but not Bernoulli naive Bayes; Figure 1), this is a strategy to elicit confused
responses against ‘generative AI,’ deflecting attention from other problematic AI systems (Table 1).
This feeds into the hype and obstructs a more general critique of similar unethical or unwanted AI
systems (cf. Guest 2025). Should we continue down this road, the technology industry will slip through
such a distinction, skipping from terminology to terminology, consolidating its power. It has indeed
done so many times before by using previous phrases as buzzwords like big data, machine learning

Because I love talking about Them Great question from anon: What do I like most about Clover and Halsin, respectively?

Anonymous asked:
What's your favourite thing about clover and halsin respectively?

Thank you for asking! The thing I like most about Clover is his internal processing of things. He reminds me in a lot of ways of Jane Eyre, another quiet and inward-turning character I've always loved and was drawn to for the same reason. I feel at home with characters who are quiet and could be mistaken for letting things "just happen" to them because of their outward silence, but for them it's a survival tool. Look one moment more and it's their tenacity that's made sure they've survived as long as they have and the silence is part of it. I love drawing Clover and all the ways he doesn't speak but still communicates, and when he does, it's all the more precious to me.

For Halsin, I love his earnestness most of all. He's so genuine in everything he does and says, sometimes to a fault, that he just flat-out doesn't seem capable of anything else. He's lighthearted when he feels at ease and all that falls with a thud when something isn't right. He lets things get to him. He's very touched by the world and in that way sort of breaks from a lot of the usual criticism of druids, that they're insular and don't care very much for things beyond the trees and animals. When Halsin says all living things he means it.

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

It's also interesting how you rarely see various pundits or publications hounding Republicans to condemn the legions of fascist podcasters, radio hosts, talk show hosts, columnists, etc that have made their careers turning up the racism and fascism dials to 11 on a daily basis.
