Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

    Be generally intelligent ffs, are you really going to argue that llms posit original insight in anything?

      Can you give me an example of a thought or statement you think exhibits original insight? I’m not sure what you mean by that.

        the smartest men in the room loudly proclaiming their smartness, until someone asks them the simplest possible question about what they’re claiming

        You think anyone is going to engage you in any meaningful discussion after that?

        Go climb a tree kid. You’re not as intelligent as you think you are.

          No, I don’t think they are. I don’t think you are. I think you’re looking for any possible excuse not to talk to me.

          It’s the zeitgeist of our time. People only want to talk about these topics, these super important topics, without being challenged. It’s pathetic.

          You’re not as intelligent as you think you are

          Oh did you come up with that insight all on your own?
