Right, I know.

AI has been worked on for generations. We’ve been benefiting from the fruits of that labor for a long time, mainly starting with search and translations.

Now we have the ability to have a conversation with machines and it is somehow not intelligence?

I am really confused.

Intelligence does not mean consciousness or alive. It is means intelligence, which can be summarized as advanced pattern matching & predictive behavior.

Like…a beetle is intelligent and alive. Is an LLM more intelligent than a beetle? What about an image classifying model, like CLIP? It can perceive and describe objects in an image in natural language, what insect can do that?

This is a form of intelligence. It was artificially created. It is artificial intelligence. How are people this delusional?
