Which is irrelevant to the recent discussions around LLMs. Auto focus on a camera could be considered AI, but that's not what people are discussing when talking about AI.
Yeah, I always hate that dishonest gut response where we obviously are talking about a type of AI that is incredibly harmful to people, and then out of the woodwork people bring up some obscure thing that they don’t know about and that they’ve only read about as if that’s what we’re talking about.
It's worse than that, it's that people hear AI and have no understanding of the history of the term or its meanings. There is,.obviously, no such thing as true AI. Automation is nothing new, surely. Taking input and acting on it would make basic thermosensors on AC units AI. Auto focus, auto correction etc.
The thing with LLMs is that they're basically souped up autocorrect tech, but some marketing geniuses decided to call that AI. But once you remember the very first public showings of Google's deep dream or the kind.of website that would Mish mash tweets from an account, it's a lot less impressive. And yet grifters and the gullible alike see no difference.
