don't blame the anti-AI movement for conflating when it was places like Google that purposely marketed LLMs as AI.

ofc people will confuse the two and just say "fuck all AI".

    Absolutely true. Tech companies and others love to conflate them. It's also a money thing: Idiots with too much money (that we should probably tax to use for something useful) want to invest in AI, so if I've been working on a project that needs funds, I just rebrand it as "AI", even if it just runs on more traditional ML principles.
