>than some of the things that defend the term for decades
There have been many attempts to pervert the term AI, which is a disservice to the technologies and the term itself.
Its the simple fact that the business people are relying on what AI invokes in the public mindshare to boost their status and visibility. Thats what bothers me about its misuse so much
Again, if you look at the early papers on AI, you'll see things that are even farther from human intelligence than the LLMs of today. There is no "perversion" of the term, it has always been a vague hypey concept. And it was introduced in this way by academia, not business.
