People really need to understand what LLMs are, and also what they are not. None of the messianic hype or even use of the term “AI” helps with this, and most of the ridiculous claims made in the space make me expect Peter Molyneux to be involved somehow.
LLMs fit in the “weak AI” category. I’d be inclined to not call them “AI” at all, since there is no intelligence, just the illusion of intelligence (if I could just redefine the term “AI”). It’s possible to build intelligent AI, but probabilistic text construction isn’t even close.

There’s “can build” and “have built”. The basic idea is about continuously aggregating data and performing pattern analysis and basically cognitive schema assimilation/accommodation in the same way humans do. It’s absolutely doable, at least I think so.
