I’m talking about AI in the context of this conversation.
I’m sorry it upsets you that capitalism has yet again redefined another word to sell us something else, but nobody here is specifically responsible for the language we’ve been given to talk about LLMs.
Perhaps writing to Mirriam Webster about the issue could reap the results you’re looking for.
LLMs are an instance of AI. There are many. Typically, the newest promising one is what the media will refer to as “AI” because the media don’t do subtlety.
There was a time when expert systems were the one thing the media considered to be AI (and were overhyped to the point of articles wondering if they’d make jobs like general practitioners obsolete). Now it’s generational neural nets. In twenty years it’ll be something else.
What you are talking about is machine learning which is called AI. What the post is talking about is LLMs which are also called AI.
AI by definition means anything that exhibits intelligent behavior and it is not natural in nature.
So when you use GMaps to find the shortest path between 2 points that’s also AI (specifically called local search).
It is pointless to argue/discuss AI if nobody even know which type they are specifically talking about.
The issue is, people tend to overgeneralize and also get averted when some buzzword is repeated too much.
So, this negatively affects the entire field of any AI.
