It's too bad that LLM grifters sought to shine their reputation by calling it "AI".

It didn't shine their reputation.

It ruined the world's opinion of the fascinating & legitimate science -- and remarkably creative uses -- of actual artificial intelligence.

@GeePawHill @cstross the term “AI” has been marketing hot-air since the days of John McCarthy. Anything emerging from it that matured enough to obviously not yield the godlike machines of loving grace the term promised ended up being renamed to something more mundane so that the term could be reused for the next thing.
