it's nice when words have meaning tho

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Yes. The term AI was coined 70 years ago and specifically includes neural nets. LLMs are definitely AI. I don't know what definition people use when they say it's not.

[-] match@pawb.social 2 points 7 months ago

Sure, but 60 years ago they coined "machine learning" when it became clear that there was going to be more work needed to emulate intelligence

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That's wrong. Machine learning is considered part of AI. AI is not necessarily about learning. EG game AI typically doesn't learn/improve.

emulate intelligence

Feel free to define intelligence and/or emulated intelligence.

We're probably talking at crosspoints here. When people say not real AI, they usually mean not artificial general intelligence, or in many cases, not intelligent in the ways suited to the problem being addressed (e.g. ChatGPT being used out of the box as a customer service rep)

As you said, it's nice when words have meanings.

People who say it's not real AI simply don't know what the word has meant for decades. I think people want to say that it is not an actual person or something like that. Which, of course, it isn't. I have to say, with 8 billion people on the planet, making artificial people would be the greatest waste of human effort I can imagine.

Ai is a field. Using it in an appeal to "true ai" is meaningless.
