The term “AI” has a much broader meaning and use than the sci-fi “thinking machine” that people are interpeting it as. The term has been in use by scientists for many decades already and these generative image programs and LLMs definitely fit within it.
You are likely thinking of AGI, or artificial general intelligence. We don’t have those yet, but these things aren’t intended to be AGI so that’s to be expected.
Thanks for saying this. I’m pretty tired of people talking about how we have changed the definition of ai to include this stuff whereas I remember talking about ai in terms of things like random forests and q learning 20 years ago

Hell, AI for years has meant “crappy script that can make a little guy run around and shoot his gun at you sometimes.”
