    I can write a program that just replies “yes” to everything you say and you can have a conversation with that. Is that program AI?

    “AI isn’t really AI and no one ever thought that AI was actually AI so it doesn’t matter if we call it AI” is the funniest level of tech bro cope these days.

      AI has been the name of the field for 70 years at this point, it isn’t something Sam Altman came up with as a marketing wheeze.

        Three dudes in a university somewhere referring to chatbots as AI does not redefine the word, even if they did it 70 years ago. 99.999% of the population has always meant AGI by “AI”. Trying to pretend they were always something different is COPE.
