Luckily LLM’s don’t actually think, but the amount of people willing to replace their own thoughts with fancy answering machines is kinda creepy though. So if we ever managed machines that actually think, we should definitely remember this, yeah.
LLMs have been around for awhile. I had a temp job working on an LLM 7 years ago. It was always referred to as an “LLM” or “machine learning”. I never once saw or heard anybody calling it “artificial intelligence” or “AI”. This rebranding is to convince people that it’s something completely new and that it’s capable of doing things that it can’t do.
