I see you saying the same thing in other comments and frankly I don’t think people care. It’s a term used to encompass LLMs and at this point I think everybody here knows what the person is referring to.

That said, as a pedant myself, crack on if you like. I just wanted to express my thoughts as I’m not pedantic over this 😂

As a fellow pedant, I have to point out that even a simple tic-tac-toe algorithm is "AI".

The term AI was coined at the Dartmouth College Summer Workshop in 1956. Early AI focused on developing expert systems and things like heuristics.

Most people conflate AI, the technical term for computerized decision making in general with the SciFi concept of super intelligent computers, and there has been a revolution since about 2010, in that computationally intensive neutral networks that were theoretical became more conceivable and practical. But LLMs are just a single family of AI techniques.

This, even bad 90's game computer AI is just as valid to call AI as the latest OpenAI model. It's just more primitive. Orders of magnitude more primitive, and no neural networks or LLM.

Thanks for this. That is interesting to know.
