I fucking hate that everyone has just accepted calling them AI. They are not AI they are LLMs which are nowhere close to what the sci-fi idea of AI is and no matter what sam says I don't think that they are the way to getting an AGI.
For clarification I understand that LLMs are a subset of AI but it feels like calling squares rectangles technically true but misleading.
- Not only that, calling the field "AI" is built in hype.
  I work in the field of intelligent machines.
  Oh cool, so you can build intelligent machines?
  Hell no. We just call the field that. For reasons.
  Edit: my dialogue dashes became blocks. Must be an intelligent machine changing them or something.
