AI contains LLMs and Machine learning and AGI.

My main point is that you shouldn't throw out computerised protein folding and cancer detection with your hatred of LLMs.

OK, and my point is that people are using the term "AI" so loosely as to be indistinguishable from "algorithm".

We'll still have the statistical protein folding models after this bubble eventually pops, we're just not gonna call it "AI". It's a trendy marketing department word, and its usefulness as a description in Computer Science is rapidly diminishing.

I would say it just got widespread use, I definitely heard of MS Word doing autofill as ‘AI’ at the time when deep learning was freshly invented thing. People tried to label a lot of things ‘AI’, with LLMs the label just stuck better

AI to a layman just means "LLMs and Generative AI that rich assholes keep trying to force me to use or consume the output of". i dont think its worthwhile to split semantic hairs over this. call the "good" stuff CNNs or machine learning if you really feel the need to draw a distinction.

To a layman, yes I agree.

Not many laymen on lemmy. We can afford to be precise with our language.
