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.

You completely missed my point obviously. I'm trying to get you to consider what "intelligence" actually means. Is intelligence the ability to learn? Make decisions? Have feelings? Outside of humans, what else possesses your definition of intelligence? Parrots? Mice? Spiders?

I'm not comparing LLMs to human complexity, nor do I particularly give a shit about them in my daily life. I'm just trying to get you to actually examine your definition of intelligence, as you seem to use something specific that most of our society doesn't.
