I didn’t necessarily mean hard baked into ActivityPub, Lemmy or any particular instance. It could take many forms, some more prevalent and noticeable than others. In a lot of use cases, AI/ML software is quietly ticking away behind the scenes, and you would never know.
What sort of independent plugins do you think we might see? Would you welcome such options, or prefer to reject them?
I think the crux of the issue is that corporations are quick to throw around the term “AI” as it’s a buzz word, and the lay person does not know what it means other than “smart-ish”. I’d argue that there is no real AI in existence (yet).
