    The field of computer science decided what AI is. It has a very specific set of meanings and some rando on the Internet isn’t going to upend decades of usage just because it doesn’t fit their idea of what constitutes AI or because they think it’s a marketing gimmick.

    It’s not. It’s a very specific field in computer science that’s been worked on since the 1950s at least.

      The issue is to laypeople the term AI presents the idea of actual intelligence at a human level. Which computer science doesn’t require for something to qualify as AI

      Leads to lay people attributing more ability to the llm than they actually posses.

        Agreed. That said, I am uncomfortable with the idea that policing language is the correct or only solution to the problem.
