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.

    For example,
    earlier this week I saw a post on Lemmy,
    where a LLM suggested to a user to uninstall a package, which would definitely have broken his Linux distro.

    Colleagues of mine have also recommended me uninstalling required system packages. Does that mean my colleagues aren’t intelligent/conscious? That humans in general aren’t?

      That humans in general aren’t?

      After working 2 years on an open source ML project, I can confidently say that yes, on average, lights aint that bright sadly.
