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.
Short version: "I’m going to embrace the term Artificial Intelligence and trust my readers to understand what I mean without assuming I’m talking about Skynet."
@simon What makes this hard currently is that many of the loudest advocates *are explicitly* talking about skynet (or "digital god" or whatever). And it seems like they're using this history of the term as cover with a general audience.
