Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

    Maybe just accept it as shorthand for what it really means.

    Some examples:

    We say Kleenex instead of facial tissue, Band-Aid instead of bandage, I say that Siri butchered my “ducking” text again when I know autocorrect is technically separate.

    We also say, “hang up on someone” when there is no such thing anymore

    Hell, we say “cloud” when we really mean “someone’s server farm”

    Don’t get me started on “software as a service” too …a bullshit fancy name for a subscription website that actually has some utility.
