Competence Does Not Mean What You Think it Means.

Please don't fucking tell people that AI is competent. It is not and it cannot ever be because it is not alive.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I do not give a fraction of a flying fuck what MW thinks competence is. I'm a goddamn engineer and I know what it means

If you use your own definition for words, don't be upset when there's confusion about what they mean when you try to communicate.

Sure, but don't think I'll be impressed by pedantry when there is no real doubt what I mean.
