This is something I immediately noticed when ChatGPT first released. It was instantly called "AI", but previous to that, HN would have been up in arms that it's "machine learning" not actual intelligence. For some reason, the crowd here and everywhere else just accepted the misuse of the word intelligence and let it happen. Elsewhere I can understand, but people here know better.

Intentionally misconstruing it as actual intelligence was all a part of the grift from the beginning. They've always known there's no intelligence behind the scenes, but pushing this lie has allowed them to take in hundreds of billions in investor money. Perhaps the biggest grift the world has ever seen.
