    Yes I use AI

    No you don’t.

    You used a large language model, which is a very fancy statistics based autocomplete algorithm, but has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with artificial intelligence, other than by harming public opinion of it and sucking off all the funding that could be used on actual AI research.

      Good luck convincing the general population. Better to just accept AGI is the new term for what you’re referring to.

            Of course it doesn’t, everyone is wasting time and money on LLMs instead of on proper AI research.

            That’s not a reason to call them AI or AGI, though. On the contrary, it’s poisoning the term, because once the LLM bubble bursts no one will want to invest in AI research for decades, because they’ll associate it with LLMs. (Not to mention how hard it’ll be to research anything when all sources of information have been poisoned with LLM slop.)
