Did you just make an acronym that means "before AI"?
replyI did, but I'm not the first. I thought maybe I was, so I checked: apparently it's been bouncing around informally among academics for a while now. I hadn't previously seen it though, so I can at least say I came up with it independently.
replyI come up with things from time to time. At least one US registered trademark is mine.
Future history books will be like: ancient legacy technology conglomerate Google was founded around 24BAI
replyI'd guess us throwing around the word "AI" constantly and endlessly debating p(doom) based on current tech will be considered pretty amusing in the future.
replyLike reading essays from the late 19th century that can't stop pontificating about living in a boundless technological singularity thanks to railroads and the telegraph. Current hackocalypse discourse already has shades of "the bomber always gets through" from the 20s.
"Sure, people in every era since the Renaissance have foolishly believed they were the ones living on the cusp of uniquely transformative and potentially cataclysmic technological change but ... This Time It's Different"
Or something like 32BAGI
replypretty sure "before wwiii" will take precedence
