    none of this LLM shit is actually AI, that’s all branding and marketing manipulation, just a reminder.

    To correct the last part, LLMs are AI. Remember that “Artificial” means “fake”, “superficial”, or “having the appearance of.” It does not mean “actual intelligence.” This is why additional terms were coined to specify types of AI that are capable of more than just smoke and mirrors, such as AGI. Expect even more niche terms to arrive in the future as technology evolves.

      This is one of the worst things in the current AI trends for me. People have straight up told me that the old MIT CSAIL lab wasn’t doing AI. There’s a misunderstanding of what the field actually does and how important it is. People have difficulty separating this from the slop capitalism has plastered over the research.

      One of the foundational groups for the field is the MIT model railroading club, and I’m not joking.
