You're lumping in other uses of AI with LLMs (chatGPT etc), which is how @pfried@reddthat.com contradicted you.
It's specifically the LLMs, which were trained with AI but are more like context-specific hyperplausible random text generators, and yes, are mass plagiarism projects currently being used as an excuse to fire a bunch of creative folk in multiple industries.
Other non-LLM AI uses tend to be more specifically problem-solving and narrowly useful.
