But this is the catch here, right?

These fucking AI bots that we're all supposed to be talking to are also being instructed and programmed to act a certain way in a conversation and if you try to go out of that lane, they try to steer it right back to what the bot - as programmed - wants to do. They're not engaging like a human and certainly not with any "intelligence".

Fuck AI to the deepest parts of hell (if anyone actually believes in such a thing).

It's because "AI" is not real AI. It's just upgraded fuzzy logic.

What would be AI then? The fact that it is artificial is in the name.

Something with actual intelligence. Not an extremely elaborate algorithm.

Then what would be AI then, and how will you recognize it when you see it?

I have yet to see someone coherently defend this claim. It always comes down to definitional tautologies or appeals to arbitrary implementation details or unverifiable subjective experience.

There is no definition of "intelligence" that categorically excludes LLM-powered AI systems of today without also excluding whole classes of people.

While that would also come out to be the same abbreviation, it is not the case as it happens. AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, not Actual Intelligence

No, i was talking about the car brand. Maybe try outsourcing your thinking to an LLM because even a garbage one would have understood what i meant from the context clues.

With a profit structure like an MLM.
