How can you trust that whatever the expression used in Finnish to denote "Artificial Intelligence" uses "wit" when translated back into English? Words in one language often don't have an exact counterpart in another language, and I'd be especially wary when it comes to languages from different families: Finnish is notorious for being one of the few European languages not part of the Indo-European family.
It may very well turn out to be the right translation, with the appropriate connotations; but without some clarification and confirmation from a native speaker, I would not trust it.

"How can you trust that" - I can't. This was idle curiosity. If I was going to publish this or do anything beyond satisfying my idle curiosity I would consult additional sources.

> Finnish translates to "Artificial wit"
Yes and no: the root of the word (and of the meaning) is still the same as in the word for intelligence.
tekoäly "artificial intelligence, artificial wit"
äly "wit"
älykäs "intelligent, having wit"
älykkyys "intelligence, the property or extent of having wit"
One dictionary definition for 'äly' is 'älykkyys' and vice versa, so they can be used more or less as synonyms but with some different connotations. I don't know how 'tekoäly' was chosen but it might have been because it's shorter and/or the grammar is nicer.
In terms of non-code things, here are a few from the past couple of days:
- Coming up with potential analogies to explain why it's OK to call something a "language" model even though it doesn't have actual understanding of language
- Exploring outliers in a CSV file (I was playing with the new alpha code interpreter, where you can upload a file and have it run and execute Python to evaluate that file)
- Asking some basic questions about GDPR cookie banners
- Figuring out if there are any languages worldwide where "Artificial Intelligence" translates to something that doesn't include the word "Intelligence" (found some good ones: Finnish translates to "Artificial wit", Swahili to "Artificial cunning")
- Understanding jargon in a tweet about payment services - I wanted to know the difference between a "payment aggregator" and a "merchant acquirer"
- As a thesaurus, finding alternatives to "sanctity" in the sentence "the sanctity of your training data"
- Fun: "Pretend to be human in a mocking way", then "Again but meaner and funnier"
- "What should I be aware of when designing the file and directory layout in an S3 bucket that could grow to host millions of files?"
