You can hardly get online these days without hearing some AI booster talk about how AI coding is going to replace human programmers. AI code is absolutely up to production quality! Also, you’re all…
“AI” is a very broad term. Back when I went to university, my AI course started out with Wumpus World. While this is an extremely simple problem, it’s still considered “AI”.
The enemies in computer games that are controlled by the computer are also considered “AI”.
Machine learning algorithms, like recommender algorithms, and image recognition are also considered “AI”
LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are also “AI”
None of these things are conscious, self aware or intelligent, yet they are part of the field called “AI”.
These are however not “AGI” (Artificial General Intelligence). AGI is when the machine becomes conscious, and self aware. This is the scenario that all the sci-fi movies portray. We are still very far away from this stage.
