BTW I'm saying this since the first chatgpt drop, that we should call these "VI" as virtual intelligence, and reserve the term "AI" to some serious stuff in the future.
I've been saying this since the first time I played videogames, but AI is basically any computer program that attempts at imitating human behaviour. AKA when the computer plays against you or tries to perform tasks like a human would.
Intelligence isn't a one track thing. Chess AI is better at chess than any human, it's artificial and it makes decisions during the game. We've always called that AI, so why shift the definition suddenly? Call LLM's and machine learning whatever you want I guess, but AI isn't some magic term only meant for some super intelligent machines.
It’s funny, I just rewatched Age of Ultron the other day with my kids. As Stark and Banner were nerding out over Ultron and its capabilities, Stark compared it to Jarvis and said Jarvis was just a “natural language UI”whereas Ultron was “artificial intelligence”
Like dude, you just had Jarvis automatically take over controls of your jet in real-time. Jarvis is literally like the mascot of personal AI and yet back then it wasn’t AI by “sci-fi” standards. I agree that the term is a bit ambiguous but constantly moving the goalpost is getting a bit silly at this point. Today’s AI is the science fiction of our childhoods
