LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term "AI" is really annoying.
In more than one questionnaire or discussion:
Q: "Do you use AI at work?"
A: "Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc."
Q: "How has AI influenced your productivity at work?"
A: ???
Can't mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.
We are just taking "crypto" back to mean something useful. It was just a matter of some stupid people losing enough money.
I hope in a few years we can take "AI" back too.
"AI" will never shake the connotations science fiction has given it. The association is always going to skew towards positronic brains and Commander Data.
In the world of Actual Machines, "AI" is a term that should barely be tolerated in advertising departments, let alone anything remotely close to R&D
I still think AI has its place as a useful term in video games development
