   I grow Jalapeños. This conflation of AI and actual chili peppers irks me.

      Just think of how the people of Xalapa, Mexico feel. They should send them a royalty check.

      I do generative art (no relation to AI prompting). I feel your frustration.

         Cryptographers also got the same raw deal with cryptocurrency, and every one just said "crypto?"

         1. monkpit · 1789780438 · focus · HN ↗

            Or cyber…

         Like traditional generative art? Like worms WMD map generation or something? Cool!

         1. Lalabadie · 1789823941 · focus · HN ↗

            Yeah! Procedural and algorithmic art are two other names you'll see used for the general techniques.

      It's jalapeño grill would you say?

      1. karim79 · 1789774924 · focus · HN ↗

         Not sure what you're talking about. But I'll tell you, home grown Jalapeño peppers, fermented with 3% salt is the stuff of dreams.

            "It's all up in yo' grill, would you say?"

            1. Razengan · 1789776644 · focus · HN ↗

               You know what really grinds my gears? Friction.

      I'm annoyed that the meaning of the word "Agent" has been obliterated.

      Like, why couldn't they invent a new word and not hijack an existing word?

         Did you not watch the Matrix documentary?

            I guess I'll have to

         Call it GPTChippomatic or something. Please leave my peppers alone.

      Guess how electrical engineers feel about the term &quot;transformers&quot;.

      1. karim79 · 1789776617 · focus · HN ↗

         This is an excellent comment. I&#x27;m still laughing.

         As a former EE, attention was all I needed to not get zapped.

         There is more to this story than meets the eye.

      Jalapeño also used to be a Java VM written in Java at IBM.

      To say nothing of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
