    It’s not.

    Words matter. For example, calling an LLM “AI” has incorrectly shaped people’s perception of its abilities. This is a core aspect of marketing for this reason, and the choice to call it “AI” was specifically to take advantage of how much word choice matters in shaping perception.

      Video games have been calling computer opponents AI for years and no one bothered to complain that those aren’t actually intelligent.

      No one expects the AI in warcraft 3 to be able to solve all the world’s problems, so I don’t know why this suddenly became different.

        Yeah yeah. The definition of AI has now fundamentally changed. Notice that I never said an LLM is not a form or subset of AI at all. The term “AI” has a much broader scope than an LLM and because of that people think it can do more than it is capable. An LLM cannot reason—it just predicts the next most likely word to follow with some additional weights as a loose guideline.

            Posting only a link to a wikipedia page is obnoxious. You’re not even bothering to explain how you think it’s relevant. In this case that would be particularly important since the “AI effect” you linked has nothing to do with what I said.

            Are you too lazy to even explain, are incapable of explaining, or are you just regurgitating whatever you can find in an attempt to overwhelm with low-effort “arguments”? (This is rhetorical. Please just go away, since you’re clearly only here with bad faith.)

              The definition of AI has now fundamentally changed.

              “The AI effect” refers to a phenomenon where either the definition of AI or the concept of intelligence is adjusted to exclude capabilities that AI systems have mastered.

                Lazy and wrong. You are intentionally misinterpreting what I said and conveniently disregarding other things I said that contradict your incorrect use. You’re simply trying to disingenuously undermine my points rather than have a good faith discussion.

                I already asked, please go away.
