Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

Real AI does not exist yet,
atm we only have LLMs (Large Language Models),
which do not think on their own,
but pass turing tests
(fool humans into thinking that they can think).

Imo AI is just a marketing buzzword,
created by rich capitalistic a-holes,
who already invested in LLM stocks,
and now are looking for a profit.

If I stuck you on a black box with and removed every single one of your senses, took away your ability to memorize things I don't really think you'd generate new ideas either. Human creativity relies heavily on output from the outside world. LLMs are not human like intelligence but do exhibit pretty amazing emergent behavior. LLMs are more sophisticated than you think. Human like AI has to be possible unless there is something intrinsically different about the human brain that breaks our current understanding of the world. Barring a "soul", the human brain has to be nothing but calculations taking place in a chemical medium. Meaning that human like AI or even better must be achievable.

I pretty much agree, but Imo, it's not so much that LLMs are more sophisticated then people think, it's more that people are less sophisticated then people think. Homosapiens have proven over and over again that we're biased toward seeing ourselves as the center of, and the most important part of the universe. I know that Chatgpt isn't magic, but I bet that I'm not either
