I think we need to STOP calling it "Artificial Intelligence". IMHO that is a VERY misleading name. I do not consider guided pattern recognition to be intelligence.
How is guided pattern recognition is different from imagination (and therefore intelligence) though?
There's a lot of other layers in brains that's missing in machine learning. These models don't form world models and ~~some~~don't have an understanding of facts and have no means of ensuring consistency, to start with.
They absolutely do contain a model of the universe which their answers must conform to. When an LLM hallucinates, it is creating a new answer which fits its internal model.
Statistical associations is not equivalent to a world model, especially because they're neither deterministic nor even tries to prevent giving up conflicting answers. It models only use of language
