> That's part of the problem though: It's not an intelligence, artificial or otherwise, yet we still call it "AI", giving people the impression that LLMs are almost AGI or a step on the way while a true artificial intelligence would be a completely different animal.

In other words, we're all parroting the marketing (aka propaganda) that was created to mislead us.

Maybe we should stop doing that, and refuse to use the term "AI" to refer to the object of this current hype cycle/bubble. Maybe we should call it the autocomplete bubble instead?
