Why the hell are you being downvoted? You are completely right.
People will look back at this and “hover boards” and will think “are they stupid!?”
Mislabeling a product isn’t great marketing, it’s false advertisement.

AI is an umbrella term that holds many thing. We have been referring to simple path finding algorithms in video games as AI for two decades, llms are AIs.
occultist8128@infosec.pub 4 months ago
Yes LLMs are AI, who don’t agree with this is stupid, sorry. But saying AI means LLM is wrong. Kindly take a look on my reason here why I always against to language misusage infosec.pub/comment/17417999. You English speakers sometimes make things harder to understand by misusing terms like ‘literally’ or using ‘AI’ to mean only LLMs. Language is meant to clarify, not confuse, and this shift in meaning can lead to misunderstandings, especially when talking about technical concepts.

Ya I agree, it is a bit problematic.

There is a distinction between video game AI and computer science AI. People know that video game AI isn’t really AI. How LLM is marketed by using terms like “super intelligence” is deception.
No one is typing prompts out to NPC asking if dogs can eat chocolate.

Calling an llm an AI isnt saying it’s super intelligent and I don’t know of any company that it is marketing it like that. There aren’t multiple definitions of AI depending on the industry you are in.
Just read the wiki, it is pretty clear. Something does not have to be “intelligent” to be considered AI, just like a shooting star isn’t actually a star. Its an umbrella term that holds many things including video game pathfinding, llms, recommendation systems, autonomous driving solutions, etc.

IDK LMAO, that’s what I really hate about Reddit/Lemmy, the voting system. People downvote but don’t tell where I’m wrong in their opinion. I mean, at least argue — say out loud your (supposedly harmless) opinion. I even added a disclaimer there that I don’t promote LLM and such stuff. I don’t really care either, I stand with correctness and do what I can to correct what is wrong. I totally agree with @sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works tho.

The LLM shills have made “AI” refer exclusively to LLMs. Honestly the best ad campaign ever.
occultist8128@infosec.pub 4 months ago
Yes and it’s wrong either. Now most people here are also falling in the same hole. I’m here not to promote/support/standing with LLM or Gen-AI, I want to correct what is wrong. You can hate something but please, be objective

Language is descriptive not prescriptive.
If people use the term “AI” to refer to LLMs, then it’s correct by definition.
sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Not really, since “AI” is a pre-existing and MUCH more general term which has been intentionally commandeered by bad actors to mean a particular type of AI.
AI remains a broader field of study.
occultist8128@infosec.pub 4 months ago
It’s partially correct but AI don’t always mean it’s LLM. Etymology is important here. Don’t normalize illiteracy.

If people use [slur] to refer to [demographic] that does not make it correct by definition.
