"AI" is the new "Innovate", every time someone uses "innovate" in 2024, they're just talking about how they're stripping our rights away from things we owned.

My coworker just gave me this rant the other day about AI.
intelligence != "thinking"
The term AI has been around longer than LLMs, and refers to a wide variety of different algorithms and approaches to automatically extracting and working with information.
LLMs are an AI technique, just like Bayesian networks for causal inference are an AI technique.
The issue isn't that we don't have "real" AI, it's that most people are misusing a general technical term, and then being indignant that it doesn't exactly match a very specific sub category (AGI, or artificial general intelligence)
You see the same thing with people calling cryptocurrency "crypto", even though that word is typically used among experts to refer to "cryptography", which is mostly not relevant to currency in the slightest.
This one's not on the tech people, it's on the people who keep missusing the words.
This has been a thing for a long time
Clippy was an assistant, Cortana was an intelligent assistant and Copilot is AI
None of these are accurate, it's always like a generation behind
Clippy just was, Cortana was an assistant, And copilot is an intelligent assistant
The next one they make could actually be AI
