Thats why I have stopped calling it ai. Its a dumbass buzzword just like cloud, that tech bros like to use but cant explain (or blockchain).

Its llms, and image generators/OCR (which has been around for decades), Using complex markov chains and a fuck ton of graphics cards. NOT AI. NOT AI.

It is AI, along with a bunch of optimization algorithms, statistical decision trees (probably used in adaptive AI in games), etc. AI is a field in computer science that includes a ton of things many wouldn’t consider AI.

It’s not “general AI”, but it is in the field of AI.

  I would argue we need to go back to Machine Learning.
  
  The field is machine learning, generative machine learning etc.
  
  This rebrand to AI is doing nothing but confusing people and building investor hype

    Back? Machine Learning has always been a subfield of artificial intelligence since it all started in the 1950s or so. The end goal is to create general AI, and each field in AI is considered a piece of that puzzle, including LLMs.

    Also fair.
    
    I find the term machine learning more honest than artificial intelligence

I use the term “inference machine”

I’ve had to start calling it AI because most people don’t know what LLMs are, noone cares to go through the explanation, including myself.
I’m afraid that, as these things go, AI has gained a new meaning by popular use, rather than the original meaning of the acronym.
No point fighting it anymore.

Maybe we just need to adjust and start saying GAI (generative ai). It has a nice ring to it too.

  If people are so dumb they dont even know what an llm is, they have no business using any “ai” products. Too bad we cant ban dumb people from using tech that will make them dumber.

  It’s always been like that, even since the 1950s…
