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.

When did the etymology change?

We have altered the etymology, pray we don’t alter it again.

Have I claimed it has changed?

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Homie I'm just asking and the wiki gives no details on when the colloquial use changed.

I don't understand what you're even trying to ask. AGI is a subcategory of AI. Every AGI is an AI but not every AI is an AGI. OP seems to be thinking that AI isn't "real AI" because it's not AGI, but those are not the same thing.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

AI has been colloquially used to mean AGI for 40 years. About the only exception has been video games, but most people knew better than thinking the Goomba was alive.

At what point, did AI get turned into AGI.

I genuinely have no idea what you're on about. Nobody who knows what they're talking about uses AI and AGI interchangeably. That's like saying by universe you mean the milkyway.
