I fucking hate that everyone has just accepted calling them AI. They are not AI they are LLMs which are nowhere close to what the sci-fi idea of AI is and no matter what sam says I don't think that they are the way to getting an AGI.

For clarification I understand that LLMs are a subset of AI but it feels like calling squares rectangles technically true but misleading.

Not only that, calling the field "AI" is built in hype.

  • I work in the field of intelligent machines.

  • Oh cool, so you can build intelligent machines?

  • Hell no. We just call the field that. For reasons.

Edit: my dialogue dashes became blocks. Must be an intelligent machine changing them or something.
