@xvf17@sfba.social As far as I know AI was coined as simulated intelligence. I think LLMs are exactly that. Ai is a term that we used to describe a bunch of systems. Chess engines, opponents in video games,... Now LLMs. Perhaps someday when we have even better systems we will call them ai, but for now ai seems to fit LLMs completely. @SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@mastodon.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@mastodon.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social @Noisecolor@toot.community they are not simulated intelligence. That’s precisely my point.

@Noisecolor@toot.community @xvf17@sfba.social @SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@mastodon.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social AI is literally the abbreviation of *artificial* intelligence. Not simulated intelligence. That feels like a real "moving the goalposts" moment. AI as it has historically/originally been used is referencing a legitimate, non-organic intelligence. LLMs are smoke and mirrors, when it comes to intelligence. There is no cognition, no understand. Personally, I prefer GenAI over scare quotes, but both are more accurate than LLM = AI
