    I agree with the first part of your comment, AI is the new buzzword.

    But AI is the correct term for LLMs and other technologies using neural networks. That’s what computer scientists have been calling them for decades. The sentient AI concept that we have comes from SciFi. I’d argue that the correct term is what experts have been calling it for years.

      This misses the fact that even the experts have been using “AI” to refer to whatever technology used to seem impossible, until it becomes commonplace. Before LLMs there were heuristic algorithms, and then expert systems, and then intelligent agents and then deep learning. As the boundaries of what is deemed achievable expand, the definition of AI moves to just beyond the frontier.
