Yeah, fine, but I feel like this fight was already lost before generative AI/LLMs became a thing. My university called a topic about rudimentary state machines "Intelligent Systems", and those didn't even use machine learning.

AI is already a "word" for it, artificial intelligence. It is not intelligence, but it sure does perform some tasks usually associated with human intelligence.

True, but thing is that "artificial intelligence" is meant in the opposite sense. It's meant as something that is / will be equivalent to human intelligence, not as something useful but vastly inferior.
i think its okay if "AI" is context dependant. but if you want a machine thats ~equal to human intelligence you can call it "AGI" and if its smarter, "ASI"
