LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term "AI" is really annoying.

In more than one questionnaire or discussion:

Q: "Do you use AI at work?"

A: "Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc."

Q: "How has AI influenced your productivity at work?"

A: ???

Can't mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

I imagine this is how everyone who worked in cryptography felt once cryptocurrency claimed the word "crypto"

I'm still mad that ML was stolen and doesn't make people think about the ML family of programming languages anymore.

The term machine learning was coined in 1959 by Arthur Samuel, an IBM employee and pioneer in the field of computer gaming and artificial intelligence.[9][10] The synonym self-teaching computers was also used in this time period.[11][12]

It wasn't so much stolen as taken back.
