No, it isnt. Artificial inteligence has been the name of the field for avenues of exploring “intelligence” with computers (including Eliza, deep blue, neural networks, expert systems, symbolic reasoning and now LLMs) since before you were born. That you associate it with something like EDI from mass effect rather than the pre-existing field does not mean its an inappropriate name.
You’d be so correct if I had said “artificial intelligence”. But that wasn’t what I was talking about. “AI” absolutely has been hijacked by the companies and the media to mean something that it is not. LLMs are not intelligent.
Want to get into the nitpicking? To talk about actual intelligence we’d be using “AGI”, not “AI”. Also, ELIZA is capitalized, as I was around when we got to play with it in BASIC in the first personal computers. Again, not intelligent, just a lot of IF-THEN clauses. ELIZA was more a demonstration of how people can be fooled easily, and boy, they sure can be now.
You’re correct, AI is a misnomer that was hijacked because it was far more marketable to the average person than LLM.
