But we didn't name them "artificial swimmers". We called them submarines - because there is a difference between human beings and machines.

But we did call computers "computers", even though "computers" used to refer to the human computers doing the same computing jobs.

Yeah but they do actually compute things the way humans did and do. Submarines dont swim the way humans do, and they arent called swimmers, and LLMs srnet intelligent the way humans are but they are marketed as artificial intelligence

Artificial leather isn't leather either. And artificial grass isn't grass. I don't understand this issue people are having with terminology.
