      LLMs are AI. But then again, so are mundane algorithms like A* Pathfinding. Artificial Intelligence is an extraordinarily broad field.

      Very few, if any, people claim that ChatGPT is “Artificial General Intelligence”, which is what you probably meant.

        It’s a meaningless marketing term. It’s used to describe so many different technologies that it has become meaningless. People just use it to give their tech some SciFi vibes.

          Sorry but that’s bullshit. You can’t disqualify an entire decades-old field of study because some marketing people used it wrong.

            No it’s not. The engineers and researchers calling any tech they made AI is bullshit. It has nothing to do with intelligence. They used it wrong from the very beginning.

              Please read up on the history of AI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

              Alan Turing was the first person to conduct substantial research in the field that he called machine intelligence.[5] Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956.[6]

              You are conflating the modern “deep learning” technique of AI, which has really only existed for a short time, with the entire history of AI development, which has existed for (probably much) longer than you’ve been alive. It’s a very common misconception.

                Just because it’s old doesn’t make it true. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)was established in 1948. Do you think North Korea is democratic just because it’s called that?

                    Allan Turing was a remarkable and talented human being that was clearly very good at what he did. There is nothing in his field of expertise that qualifies him to have a very good understanding of intelligence. I mean even the Turing test is kind of bad at estimating intelligence. LLMs can already pass them and they are not intelligent.
