AI is a terrible name anyway and I am glad people have stopped calling stuff like supervised learning, or Markov Chains AI. I think it is better if it just sticks to this awful technology of LLMs and imagegen and will be dropped everywhere else for a better term.

We can readopt Machine Learning for the other algorithms, which is significantly better, but still not without flaws. I hope we go further down and just say statistical inference, and if we want to be any more specific and just say which algorithm we are using (supervised learning, Markov Chains, Kalman filter, etc.)

It would be nice but I have no illusions, it won't happen.
In my experience, people like GP will burnout on idealism right around their mid-40s.

The dark night of the soul will be sublime.
