LLM peddlers have turned the term AI into a synonym for LLM, despite LLMs being as far from anything resembling true AI as eliza was.
Which is tragic, because funding and research into this evident dead end is syphoning away any time or money that could be spent on actual AI research, and once the LLM bubble bursts it'll poison the public's opinion on AI (they won't know or care that LLMs have nothing to do with AI) and prevent any investments or research on real AI for decades.
