Not OP but for starters LLMs != AI

LLMs are not an intelligence, and people who treat them as if they are infallible Oracles of wisdom are responsible for a lot of this fatigue with AI





>Not OP but for starters LLMs != AI

Please don't do this, make up your own definitions.

Pretty much anything and everything that uses neural nets is AI. Just because you don't like how the definition has been since the beginning doesn't mean you get to reframe it.

In addition, if humans are not infallible oracles of wisdom, they wouldn't be an intelligence in your definition.


Why then there is an AI-powered dishwasher, but no AI car?

https://www.tesla.com/fsd ?

I also don't understand the LLM ⊄ AI people. Nobody was whining about pathfinding in video games being called AI lol. And I have to say LLMs are a lot smarter than A*.


Cannot find any mention of AI there.

Also it's funny how they add (supervised) everywhere. It looks like "Full self driving (not really)"


Yes one needs some awareness of the technology. Computer vision: unambiguously AI, motion planning: there are classical algorithms but I believe tesla / waymo both use NNs here too.

Look I don't like the advertising of FSD, or musk himself, but we without a doubt have cars using significant amounts of AI that work quite well.


None of those things contain actual intelligence. On that basis any software is "intelligent". AI is the granddaddy of hype terms, going back many decades, and has failed to deliver and LLMs will also fail to deliver.

It's because nobody was trying to take video game behavior scripts and declare them the future of all things technology.

Ok? I'm not going to change the definition of a 70 year old field because people are annoyed at chatgpt wrappers.
