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.

    People keep saying this, but AI has been used for subroutines nowhere near actual artificial intelligence since at LEAST as long as video games have existed

      Much much longer than that. The term has been used since AI began as a field of study in the 50s. And it’s never referred to human level intelligence. Sure, that was the goal, but all of the different sub branches of AI are still AI. Whether it’s expert systems, LLMs, decision trees, etc, etc, etc. AI is a broad term that covers the entire spectrum, and always has been. People that complain about it just want AI to only refer to AGI, which already has a term. AGI.

        Im willing to bet a good 60%+ are complaining about the word now because they are regurgitating anti AI talking points they’ve heard that they think sound good
