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.
Comment on I'm not sure they will
echodot@feddit.uk 8 hours agoAI 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.

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

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

It’s “behavior” now.

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