Biggest mistake we did was never separating ML and Genai clearer

Chinese AI slop is still AI slop.

An automated factory employing machine learning algorithms is very different from an LLM chatbot. They both get lumped together as "AI" (which doesn't exist), but machine learning is actually useful
e: to get more specific, machine learning "AI" does things like predict how molecules will bind to proteins, for purposes of creating novel pharmaceuticals or whatever. a far cry from "@grok is this real"

also for many of those factory where you don't actually need those, it's more likely to be just some machine vision stuff to alert people if it detects anything that goes wrong, so they can leave it to machines to do most of the steps.

your human generated slop is still slop

This is accurate.

This stuff has very little to do with LLMs, and is a lot more important. Needless to say US AI companies are completely neglecting it.
