So... since calling this generative language model shit "AI" isn't going away any time soon, what's the term for actual AI? The thinky kind that currently only exists in sci-fi. Distinguishing that from just an algorithm is going to be very important if/when we ever manage to create actual AI.

the issue you’re having is that LLMs are “real” AI- the distinction is “narrow” AI, which this stuff is, and General AI, like Data or Hal or Kryten.

And the distinction is one that encompasses multiple fields of study and philosophy…. We don’t even know if we’re truly intelligent, so you’ll have to bear with them a while more.

Distinguishing that from just an algorithm

That distinction is already made the moment the software starts to make decisions not preprogrammed into the code or database, but instead needs to be (self) trained and gives a form of emergent behavior.

But that starts at playing space invaders, to sci-fi androids and into super intelligence. It's a very broad term.

Distinguishing that from just an algorithm

How do you distinguish intelligence from just an algorithm, for example our own?

I assume this was nothing more but a ~~wild assumption on thin ice~~ personal belief.

Edit: Next downvotee please enlighten mee. How do you distinguish the two?

Number of feedback loops involved in learning is one of the current models separating current machine intelligence from animal intelligence.
