The Government is “deeply concerned” about the impact artificial intelligence (AI) could have on the spread of disinformation during election campaigns.

The one I always find funny is tech CEOs or ads out there that use the term “quantum leap” to describe an improvement. In reality, a quantum leap is just when an electron changes orbitals – one of the smallest movements a piece of matter can make. In my mind, a device being described as a “quantum leap” ahead of it’s predecessor sounds like it’s barely changed at all. Even better is the state is often temporary as electrons jump up an orbital when absorbing energy and then will jump back down when they release it. All in all, a terrible marketing term.
I’ve always thought of it as referring to the scientific leap that discovering quantum mechanics was: A massive leap that completely changed the ruling paradigm of the scientific world.

that one always cracks me up too, even dictionaries get it wrong:

Same, its a cringe term. Look how fancy they can word, they worded a fancy word.
