Has anyone seen an AI/ML/whatever in the wild? I mean, an _actual_ implementation in production that is actually used.

And Powerpoint slide does not count (unless it of course were created by AI/ML/whatever).

I hear a lot of big words from management but I can’t see anything anywhere.

ML is used in battery usage prediction, ad preferences, app configuration, writing "news" that's just an ad for McDonald's, all social media feeds, medical diagnosis, music searching, etc etc

@lungdart In your company alone?

@sideshowbob76 in the wild..?

@sideshowbob76 I think he means on the internet in general

GANN Theft Auto

You're seeing it everywhere, you just don't realise it. Everything from ad suggestions to social media feeds to online shopping suggestions has some amount of ML behind it these days.

@atheist Hey Siri, do you use artificial intelligence?

@sideshowbob76 let me give a simple example that predates the AI / ML buzz because it is 20 years old.

A simple camera system with color detection to separate glass in a recycling company. Stuff got presorted, if the system did wrong, employee took image of bootle, system scanned the foto, extracted color codes, added it to the detection.

I think it was even around 30 years old, long long time ago.
