This comment is also bullshit. ML products that sometimes are useful isn't "AI", they don't have anything in common but some group of algorithms that we called "learning" back then when we thought it's cute to do this skeuomorphic naming.
AI doesn't exist because the term AI doesn't mean anything anymore. It barely meant anything back then when computers were the size of a room, and it means less now.
So when you're trying to smuggly "y'all rubes and peasants, you know nothing of actual magic, only I know actual magic", you're starting with the wrong premise, where AI is actually a thing, while it isn't, no matter how much marketing is throwing around.

Mate. You can argue with me all you want but you can’t change the definition, no matter how much you like to be right. Please look up a definition before you start arguing it and calling other people’s comment bullshit.

Your second paragraph is exactly my point. It’s not helpful to call LLM’s and solely LLM’s AI. Because they are not what it encompasses. And every time you use the term the wrong way you help erode it.

I can also assure you that outside tech bros and fad followers the term AI is still very much alive. And it is used just the way it was before LLMs.

So you can at least try to use the correct terms in a technology community and not blanket hate on AI that is still very helpful and very different from LLM’s, but still, very definitely AI according to the definition.
