It's a pointless waste of time to make the distinction.
It's not.
Words matter. For example, calling an LLM "AI" has incorrectly shaped people's perception of its abilities. This is a core aspect of marketing for this reason, and the choice to call it "AI" was specifically to take advantage of how much word choice matters in shaping perception.
Yeah yeah. The definition of AI has now fundamentally changed. Notice that I never said an LLM is not a form or subset of AI at all. The term "AI" has a much broader scope than an LLM and because of that people think it can do more than it is capable. An LLM cannot reason—it just predicts the next most likely word to follow with some additional weights as a loose guideline.
Posting only a link to a wikipedia page is obnoxious. You're not even bothering to explain how you think it's relevant. In this case that would be particularly important since the "AI effect" you linked has nothing to do with what I said.
Are you too lazy to even explain, are incapable of explaining, or are you just regurgitating whatever you can find in an attempt to overwhelm with low-effort "arguments"? (This is rhetorical. Please just go away, since you're clearly only here with bad faith.)
You both are right. You're right because it's important. They're right because no one gives a shit.
I would only agree that people who are ignorant or willfully ignorant will not care, but that does not give any strength to their argument. It just acknowledges mass ignorance.
Many of us know this. It's not new. Change what you can, learn to accept or ignore what you can't
