The LLM peddlers seem to be going for that exact result. That's why they're calling it "AI". Why is this surprising that non-technical people are falling for it?
That's not why. They're calling it AI because it is AI. AI doesn't mean sapient or conscious.
Edit: look at this diagram if you're still unsure:
The I implies intelligence; of which there is none because it's not sentient. It's intentionally deceptive because it's used as a marketing buzzword.
You might want to look up the definition of intelligence then.
By literal definition, a flat worm has intelligence. It just didn't have much of it. You're using the colloquial definition of intelligence, which uses human intelligence as a baseline.
I'll leave this graphic here to help you visualize what I mean:
Please do post this graphic again, I don't think I've quite grasped it yet
Ok. I won't.
Oh, yes. I forgot that LLM have creativity, abstract thinking and understanding. Thanks for the reminder. /s
It's not a requirement to have all those things. Having just one is enough to meet the definition. Such as problem solving, which LLMs are capable of doing.
