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.
