The phrase AI has never actually meant that though? It’s just a machine that can take in information and make decisions. A thermostat is an AI. And not a fancy modern one either. I’m talking about an old bi-metallic strip in a plastic box. That’s how the phrase has always been used outside of sci-fi, where it usually is used to talk about superintelligent general intelligences. The problem isn’t that people are calling LLMs AI. The problem is that the billionaires who run everything are too stupid to understand that difference.

Litterally everything we have ever made and called an AI is an algorithm. Just because we’ve made algorithms for making bigger, more complicated algorithms we don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s actually anything fundamentally different. Look at input, run numbers, give output. That’s all there ever has been. That’s how thermostats work, and it’s also how LLMs work. It’s only gotten more complicated. It has never actually changed.
