While I have written elsewhere[1] that I think AI is causing a bubble right now, AI is also the biggest technological change to the world since the Internet.

I'm a software engineer, and I don't write code anymore. I'm still coming to terms with that, grieving the loss of my old career and getting used to the new career which is more like a technical lead and product person than a computer programmer.

Stop calling LLMs AI. We have LLMs as a product, now, but not AI. AI does exist as a research field, and so do "flying cars" and "nuclear fusion" (with arguably those two being much closer to materiality than AI).

And no, that doesn't make me some kind of "AI hater", or someone unable to see value in LLMs.

It’s funny to see the treadmill on the term “AI” moved again.

There’s a reason the term AGI is used a lot now. What are LLMs if not intelligence that is artificial? Just today I used it to debug code, write a shader (which, to be fair, it’s only slightly better than me at doing), and tell my daughter and I what hedgehogs and foxes eat. Seems pretty intelligent to me.

Of course, not long ago we were using the term largely for things that were basically big chains of conditional statements.

Why? Why should we suddenly subscribe to your brand new definition of "AI"?

Respectfully: deal with it.

That ship has sailed, you're the one who has to adapt to the usage of the word in the world, not the world to you.
