No. True AI is still a while away. What is getting traction are Large Language Models which I don’t classify as AI because the systems are not creating anything new, they are appropriating what already existed and saying it in another way.

Isn't this humanity in a nutshell? Standing on the shoulders of Giants, etc.

  Not really. The LLMs use tokens instead of actual words to understand the words. There’s a layer of disassociation. That’s different to taking pre existing knowledge, understanding it, and using it to divine more knowledge.

    The layer of disassociation is present w/ humans speaking different languages too though, right? My point is that once we can understand each other, we are all building on what already exists

    Language is not disassociation.

    Yeah. We’re all embedded in a context and in a world surrounding us. So are computer language models.
