This reads as a way to protect white collar industries from the effects of AI without addressing the root problem--that AI does not actually think, and that it is little more than a meat grinder full of scraped data.

In other words, Artificial Stupidity. Why is it CALLED intelligent?

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Why is it CALLED intelligent?

Because it is "intelligent" by definition. You're conflating the word with "highly intelligent" or just "smart".

Dogs are "intelligent" but can't they write code, but we sometimes refer to dogs as "smart".

A flatworm has intelligence but no one would call it smart.
