AI is a perfectly fine name for it, the term has been used for this kind of thing for half a century now by the researchers working on it. The problem is pop culture appropriating it and setting unrealistic expectations for it.
Pop culture didn’t appropriate it. Alan Turing and John McCarthy and the others at the Dartmouth Comference were inspired in part by works like Wisard of Oz and Metropolis and R.U.R.
While the term was coined in a paper for that seminal conference by McCarthy…. The concept of thinking machines had already been firmly established.
Yes, but the goal of the researchers from the 70s was always to make them “fully intelligent.” The idea behind AI has always been to create a machine that can rival or even surpass the human mind. The scientists themselves set out with that goal. It has nothing to do with the media when research teams were saying that they expect a fully intelligent AI by the 90s.
Yeah, I do think AI was a poor name for advanced machine learning, but there are FMs and LLMs that can produce impressive results.
Really, the limiting factor is prompt engineering and fine tuning the models, but you can get around that somewhat by having the AI ask you questions.
