We keep arguing about “AI” as if it has a stable definition.
It doesn’t—and it won’t—because “intelligence” is a moving target, and every definition depends on where someone’s work (or fear, or incentives) intersects with the tech.
That’s why debates keep collapsing into talking past each other: we’re not using the same word.

This our fault, those of us who help define the field, and I apologize. We were duped by science fiction into thinking the Turing Test was valid, it was pompous and overstated but reflected our naive ambitions and the term gained funding attention so who could blame us?
The CORRECT term would be Applied Statistics

AI is just a catch-all word. It's not the meaning of *intelligence* that is a moving target, but the definition of what is inside AI that is. It could have been named "applied statistics" and include the current dozens of technologies that are in it.
Translators are AI, Map Navigation is AI, Search algorithms are AI. A lot of these technologies are pretty awesome and belong to our normality.
The limit between "automatic" and "ai" is always moving. As things get more complex any previous technology moves from being "AI" to being simply some kind of "automation". This moves the target.
Today, instead, we are faced with an inconsistent technology (namely LLM) that claims to be the ouverture for AGI, the Graal of computing. The claim is false, and the technology inconsistent as it doesn't have any specific use case.
They promise it is being the "all use cases that you may think of", but if you coded a little bit you know that this is bullshit.
Bingo.
Guess why the first jobs to be replaced are the creative ones.

Gli arroganti non sono sciocchi
Non confondeteli, è l'arroganza che li fa comportare da sciocchi, ma se c'è arroganza è quello che sono
La morte toglie le maschere, e nudi si vede quel che sono
Senza più niente a nasconderli, nessun posto dove scappare
Compagni d'inferno si vede quel che siete
-
Solo il modesto si salverà, non l'arrogante
E non c'è che arroganza dovunque

Avete voluto la fine del mondo
Senza sapere cosa avrebbe significato

Chi protegge gli innocenti se il lupo è salito in alto?
Chi lo ferma ora
Lo sapete che il lupo caccia per primi i cuccioli, e voi glieli avete consegnati?
-
L'unica cosa che posso fare è trovare quella voce che mi ha condannato e mi vuole fuori di lì
Ascoltare piano il sussurro che porta alla luce
O alla fine
-
Cosa posso fare se il mio cuore è abitato da un inferno?
Cosa posso fare se ritengo che è giusto?
Cosa posso fare se voglio cacciare tutti e chiudere la porta?

DIY Reflow Plate Runs On USB Power Delivery
If you’re working with surface mount components, you’re likely going to want a reflow plate at some point. [Vitaly] was in need of just such a tool, and thus whipped up a compact reflow plate that is conveniently powered via USB-C.
This reflow rig is designed for smaller work, with a working area of 80 mm x 70 mm. There are two options for the heating element—either a metal core PCB-based heater, or a metal ceramic heater. The former is good for working with Sn42Bi58 solder paste at 138 C, according to [Vitaly], while the latter will happily handle Sn63Pb37 at 183 C if the dirty stuff is more your jam.
Running the show is an ESP32-C3-WROOM, which serves up a web-based control panel over Bluetooth for setting the heating profiles. Using Bluetooth over WiFi might seem like an odd choice at first, but it means you don’t have to add the hot plate to the local wireless network to access it, handy if you’re on the move. It’s also worth noting that you can’t run this off any old USB charger—you’ll need one compatible with USB Power Delivery (PD) that can deliver at least 100 watts.
If you’re needing to whip up small boards with regularity, a hotplate like this one can really come in handy. Files are on GitHub for those eager to build their own.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen USB-C powering a small reflow plate. Of course, if you make your PCBs self heating, you can sidestep all that entirely.
