My bad bad for not seeing the sub's name before commenting. My points still stand though.

There's machine learning, and there's machine learning. Either way, pattern matching & statistics has nothing to do with intelligence beyond the actual pattern matching logic itself. Only morons call LLMs "AI". A simple rule "if value > threshold then doSomething" is more AI than an LLM. Because there's actual logic there. An LLM has no such logic behind word prediction, but thanks to statistic it is able to fool many people (including myself, depending on the context) into believing it is intelligent. So that makes it dangerous, but not AI.
