It is a problem because people will talk about what AI can do implying that an LLM can do that thing, making it seem like a pure LLM can do almost anything. On the other hand people will say AI will never be able to do X because an LLM can’t do that thing well natively. AI has become too vague of a term to be useful.

We're relearning that intelligence is spikey, and that different things that we consider 'intelligent' can have vastly different capabilities.

[bigstrat2003]

We're learning that people are way too lax with where they apply the term "intelligent". LLMs aren't remotely intelligent, but people are trying to ride the hype train and call them intelligence.

Maybe I'm just significantly and unrepresentatively unlucky, but Claude is significantly more intelligent than the average human around me on most any metric I can think of.

For a while I made an effort to always call em llms. But over the last year everyone is always calling them AI at my workplace, I eventually also started calling it that. I guess that makes me a hypocrite

[subygan]

this is just false.

by any meaningful measure of intelligence. the latest models are much smarter than the bulk of the population.

how would you define intelligence?
