Comment: Ignoring and banning AI is the wrong approach — we need honest engagement
By
Martin Gerhard Loschwitz
Summary
The article argues that the constant overuse of the term "AI" by marketers is annoying and misleading, as tools like ChatGPT are actually Large Language Models (LLMs) based on sophisticated language statistics, not true artificial intelligence. The author criticizes the typical German approach of ignoring or banning new technologies, and calls for honesty and engagement with AI tools instead of avoidance.
