  AI is such a broad term is to essentially be meaningless. My thermostat does not use AI it uses a very simple algorithm.

  We have a OCR system at work that runs on a Windows XP computer, people used to call that AI until about 10 years ago.

    LLMs are just a more complicated algorithm though. AI would be a pretty useful term so long as people are sure to make that distinction and only use AI to refer to a truly complex algorithm. Calling a thermostat algorithm on an A/C “AI” is definitely a meaningless use of the term

      If it’s deterministic, I don’t see it as AI.

        That would also mean that a lot of “AI” in games wouldn’t actually be worthy of the name. Which actually I agree with.

        LLMs are deterministic, they just have some random inputs in most implementations

      “Hi Dave, great idea, I’ll turn the heaters on bust, we’ll be nice and toasty in here soon 🥰☕”

      No I said turn on the AC, it’s already a furnace in here

      No, LLMs are heuristics

    it uses a very simple algorithm.

    That is AI too. If a machine can make a decision based on some input, it is AI. A (functional) if statement in a programme makes it AI.

      Would you call an old school thermometer (that uses melting and congealing wax to open/shut a vent) AI?

        There are ‘computers’ made using clockwork and hydraulics, so I guess yes.

      Again it’s semantics, but the computer is not making the decision, it’s calculating the decision. The detention is whether it’s deterministi

  Jup, it’s as if everyone magically forgot about pre-deep-learning AIs the moment Microsoft and OpenAI appropriated the word AI to mean LLM++.

  Turn off ALL AI and you’ll have windmills and power plants go rogue, ships will loose navigation and stabilization, planes falling down from the skies, and most important: the NPCs in your video games will only be able to react with the most simple interactions - terrible, truly!

  Turn off all the AI and I can’t play Halo anymore because the enemies don’t do anything
