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.

    Besides the detail that even Kalahari Bushmen have mobile phones now, primitive humans (or our ancestors) weren’t stupid

    Oh you bastard. You actually tried to reframe my words into exactly the opposite of what I was saying.

    I did not use a Kalahari Bushman as an example of a stupid person. I used a Kalahari Bushman as an example of a general intelligence as smart as you or I, who can’t press buttons or buy things on Amazon for reasons of access not capability.

    I need to cool down before I read the rest of your comment. Not cool dude, trying to twist what I said into some kind of racist thing. Not cool.

      This wasn’t my intention at all, we are talking about capabilities here, not access.

      You could give ChatGPT every resource in the world, all the processing power, every account credential (usernames, passwords), an unlimited fiber connection with 100 Gbit and zero restrictions on the language model.

      It doesn’t matter, it’s straight up not built to do any actions or as AI. It’s an input output machine, text in, text out, that’s it.

      It’s just so damn complex at this point that the text output is really good, but there isn’t more to it. Even the capability to “remember” your previous input isn’t actually remembering, your next input just goes down a different pathway in the model (which has billions of parameters) to get to your new text output.
