LLMs are true AI. AI doesn’t mean what most people think it means. AI systems from sci-fi movies like HAL 9000, JARVIS, Ava, Mother, Samantha, Skynet, and GERTY are all AI, but more specifically, they are AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). AGI is always a type of AI, but AI isn’t always AGI. Even a simple chess-playing robot is an AI, but it’s a narrow intelligence - not general. It might perform as well as or better than humans at one specific task, but this ability doesn’t translate to other tasks. AI itself is a very broad category, kind of like the term 'plants.'
No, AI means AI
Corporations came up with AGI so they could call their current non-AI AI
It's a LLM. Not an AI.
No, he's right, LLMs match the definition of AI. Terms like AI and AGI are not made up by corporations, they have specific meanings in computer science.
The term AGI was first used in 1997 by Mark Avrum Gubrud in an article named 'Nanotechnology and international security'
A program predicting language replies using a lossy compression matrix is not intelligent.
AI implies either sentience or sapience constructed outside of an organ. None of which is possible with machine learning large language models, it's just math for now.
It definitely doesn't imply sentience. Even artificial super intelligence doesn't need to be sentient. Intelligence means the ability to acquire, undestand and use knowledge. A self driving car is intelligent too but almost definitely not sentient.
My gugugaga program I m gonna finish college with fulfills the definition of AI because it implements minmax, xd
