I get your point but yes, I think being actively told something by a seemingly sentient consciousness (which it fatally appears to be) is a different thing.
(disclaimer: I know the true nature of llm and neural networks and would never want the word AI associated)
Edit: fixed translation error
AI is an extremely broad term which LLMs falls under. You may avoid calling it that but it's the correct term nevertheless.
I guess so, but then that is kind of lumping it in the fps bot behaviour from the 90s which was also "AI", it's the AI hype that is pushing people to think of it as "intelligent but not organic" instead of "algorithms that give the facade of intelligence" which 90s kids would have understood it to be.
The chess opponent on Atari is AI too. I think the issue is that when most people hear "intelligence," they immediately think of human-level or general intelligence. But an LLM - while intelligent - is only so in a very narrow sense, just like the chess opponent. One’s intelligence is limited to playing chess, and the other’s to generating natural-sounding language.
