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.

LLMs are AI. Lots of things are. They're just not AGI.

Right? Computer opponents in Starcraft are AI. Nobody sane is arguing it isn't. It just isn't GAI nor is it even based on neural networking. But it's still AI.

I have no idea what makes them say LLMs are not AIs. These are definetely simulated neurons in the background.

It's a very loaded term and seems to imply AGI for many.

I'm willing to bet that thise people didn't know anything about AI until a few years ago and only see it as this latest wave.

I did AI courses in college 25 years ago, and there were all kinds of algorithms. Neural networks were one of them, but there were many others. And way before that, like others have said, it's been used for simulated agents in games.
