It’s OK to call it Artificial Intelligence: I wrote about how people really love objecting to the term "AI" to describe LLMs and suchlike because those things aren't actually "intelligent" - but the term AI has been used to describe exactly this kind of research since 1955, and arguing otherwise at this point isn't a helpful contribution to the discussion.
@simon "so-called AI", "technology marketed as 'AI'", or even just "AI" in quotes, seem to solve the "most people [..] don’t know what it means" issue, while contributing a lot less to the other problem: while "AI is [..] already widely understood", its common understanding is something way beyond what it actually does, which is dangerous for all the reasons we seem to be agreeing on in this thread.
