      Most “AI” is just a series of if/then statements and/or LLMs that try to predict the next word.

      It was part of my research back in college so its crazy what companies actually say AI is. Im probably preaching to the choir around here but man it grinds my gears.

        I hate calling it “AI” (hence the scare quotes) because it’s certainly not what comes to mind when you think of the sci-fi AI many expect. ML also seems to miss the mark, I’m never really sure what to call it. LLM works for chatGPT but what about the music and image generators?

        only partially. But yeah I, as a software developer, agree with your assessment.
