Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

In the sense that AI is an extremely general term that involves many different technologies, yes. Generative AI/LLMs are not true AGI, which is what people think it is. It cannot think, it cannot learn, it can only predict.
People think it AI intelligence is comparable to how a hovercraft hovers, as in the word is taken literally, but it is actually comparable to a Hoverboard.
That's actually pretty good... the techbro equivalent of "We did it!"
That's a distinction without a difference. If it can predict what a AGI would do in a given situation, then it is an AGI.
I'm not saying that it is an AGI, but the reason it it isn't is more than "it can only predict".
