Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

    No, not really. You’re misunderstanding the words, and also vastly overestimating LLMs. LLMs such as the OpenAI™ models cannot reproduce dogs barking to the point of fooling humans or animals unless they’re trained on dog barking data to the point of specialization. That’s because they lack any general thinking capability, period.

    Learning Algorithms require massive amounts of sample data to function, and pretty much never function outside of specific purposes such as predicting what word will come next in a sentence. I personally think that disqualifies them from sentience and sapience, but they could certainly pass a sentience written test.
