Most of the bullshit around AI would be avoided if people called it what it is. Call a language model a language model.

If tomorrow we design something better, then give it a new descriptive name.

People read AI and AGI and their brains seem to flip into sci-fi fantasy mode, thinking that they are talking about aliens, not transformers.

It's interesting you have no idea what language really is.

>thinking that they are talking about aliens, not transformers.

"Ha, thinking they are talking about humans when they are just talking about neurons"

See how silly my statement sounds. Neurons aren't a system, they don't do anything on their own. We can't find any consciousness in them. Hell, when you don't put language in said neural systems they are pretty useless and can't survive on their own from birth (human brains that is).
