Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

    You’re not the only one but I don’t really get this pedantry, and a lot of pedantry I do get. You’ll never get your average person to switch to the term LLM. Even for me, a techie person, it’s a goofy term.

    Sometimes you just have to use terms that everyone already knows. I suspect we will have something that functions in every way like “AI” but technically isn’t for decades. Not saying that’s the current scenario, just looking ahead to what the improved versions of chat gpt will be like, and other future developments that probably cannot be predicted.
