Horizon was accounting software - where is the connection to expert systems?
Sounds like corporations can have bad motivations, and can make bad software - no AI required.
- ben_w 2mo ago> Horizon was accounting software - where is the connection to expert systems? "it's functionally about the same as basically all modern business systems" > can make bad software - no AI required All AI *is software*; and by the old definition of AI, almost all modern software *is AI*.
- evrydayhustling 2mo agoDisagree, words drift but they still mean things. Nobody building accounting software in the 90s called it AI (or even an expert systems, barring the most inventive salescritters). Besides what kind of slippery slope argument is this? All software is AI, so if you do harm with software, AI is a harmful technology? Seems like a not very helpful model of the world.
