I’m starting to think that those of us who understand this will probably fair better by forfeiting the semantics battle and making the distinction between LLM-AI and ML.

I’m now picturing a future where the word AI truly becomes universally hated, and LLM lovers start calling it ML again:

No, no it’s not AI it’s machine learning

Or we all just call it applied statistics, that ought to take the magic out of it, since normal people consider statistics to be boring and mundane and certainly not intelligent.
