>Who do you think filters the spam in your Gmail, if not their AI Bots?

I would hope it's a purpose-built ML model and not an LLM that was cajoled into doing spam filtering.

So exactly what I just said.

Trained ML Models have been in use long before LLMs came out.

ML models are AI too. And you don't even need statistical models to call your system AI, just a set of conditional blocks behind a decision
You really think of a bunch of conditions can be labeled as AI? Do you work in marketing?

It was an exaggeration but most of pre-ML AI is just a set of fairly rigid and general rules. They mostly differ in the sense that rules are added by different means (human vs machine) or at different times (during the "training" process or on the go while being used)
Is your contention that AI can't be implemented on a Turing machine?
