Yes. AIs come in all sorts of flavours.

I think the main thing that happened with LLMs was that people anthropomorphise them because they finally understand what's going on. Other AIs might be smarter by solving complicated mathematical problems but most people don't speak that language so they're not impressed.

LLM vendors should really make this clear but they don't because a magical thinking machine sells well.

Hold on though... modern LLM systems, like ChatGPT 4o et al do stop and think. The vendors are not selling LLMs. LLMs are an implementation detail. They're selling AI systems: the LLM in addition to the controlling software.
