It continues to infuriate me that the media lets tech companies anthropomorphize AI models with terms like “learn”, “train”, and (especially!) “hallucinate”
It would be much harder to get acceptance if they said "let our computer programs steal all your intellectual property so we can imitate you"... but it would be more realistic.
The biggest issue is frankly how morphed the term AI has been allowed to become in the industry. Most of these models are grand ML, not so much AI. The LLM approach AI because they can solve multiple types of problems, but they don't have reasoning behind their answers, just prob tables.
The judges show their modern understanding of storage media - “a cassette tape for audio”. Same as our legislators, fossils who don’t understand modern technologies.
There is an audience to consider. The judges reveal themselves but also who they are speaking to. Perhaps the cassette tape crowd are a fossil crowd who also have power and limited tech literacy.
Almost any digital storage medium instead of an analogue cassette tape, e.g. on CD-ROM, or specify it as an MP3 or WMA file. I realise they may be trying to distinguish their choice from digital by adding “computer” at the end but not every audio recording is played through a computer.
The existence of information in a mind is exactly like 0's and 1's. Information theory explains that information is simply correlations in data - or, in other words, shared states in physical matter. If you know something, it is because something inside you correlates with the thing you know.

We're not very good at it yet, and it takes a lot of training... but.. Like, they're flat wrong and we already know it.
