‘Artificial intelligence’ has been around for quite a while. The headlines were grabbed by LLMs, but that’s not the only place that the investment money has gone. None of these major companies with public facing LLMs are exclusively working with them.
Llm’s are not ai. Llm’s get in the way of real ai research, as they do all other thought.
Personally, I think that’s kind of a matter of opinion. AI is a pretty broad term.
If you include the thing that im playing against when i run a computer opponent in ‘starcraft: brood war’, or the thing included in my keyboard app to help me type tgis, sure. Yes. It’s ai.
It is not in any meaningful sense intelligence or a convincing simulation thereof.
That’s fine, I’ll agree to disagree. Out of curiosity, what do you consider real AI to be?
Something that has any of what i consider intelligence constructed artificially.
