I get your point but yes, I think being actively told something by a seemingly sentient consciousness (which it fatally appears to be) is a different thing.
(disclaimer: I know the true nature of llm and neural networks and would never want the word AI associated)
Edit: fixed translation error
AI is an extremely broad term which LLMs falls under. You may avoid calling it that but it's the correct term nevertheless.
When we started calling literal linear regression models AI it lost all value.
A linear regression model isn’t an AI system.
The term AI didn’t lose its value - people just realized it doesn’t mean what they thought it meant. When a layperson hears “AI,” they usually think AGI, but while AGI is a type of AI, it’s not synonymous with the term.
I agree, but people have been heavily misusing it since like 2018
