Not sure if this is the best community to post in; please let me know if there's a more appropriate one. AFAIK Aii@programming.dev is meant for news and articles only.

You're confusing AI with AGI...
Speech to text is ai, llm's are ai... But they're not conscious

AI helps fly planes when pilots lose consciousness.

AI helps surgeons perform microscopic surgery through robotic tools.

AI performs large algorithmic and logistically complex tasks based on a specific set of requirements to a detailed task.

These aren't new concepts. These are technologies that have existed for the last 30-40 years.

Our definition of "AI" today has been muddled due to marketing manipulation.

LLMs are not AI. LLMs have existed for the last 20-30 years. I played with one in 2000. it was a sex chat bot. it literally did exactly the same things current LLMs do today except it emulates speech patterns better.

AGI is just another marketing word. Ignore it, it doesn't exist.

A sex chat bot is ai.
Ai doesn't mean it's intelligent
LLM'S do a lot more than mimic speech patterns.
And I know AGI doesn't exist

being a human clearly doesn't either.
