    LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term “AI” is really annoying.

    In more than one questionnaire or discussion:

    Q: “Do you use AI at work?”

    A: “Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc.”

    Q: “How has AI influenced your productivity at work?”

    A: ???

    Can’t mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

      I had a first stage interview with a large multinational construction company where I’d be “the only person in the organization sanctioned to use ai”

      they meant: use chatgpt to generate blogs

      I imagine this is how everyone who worked in cryptography felt once cryptocurrency claimed the word “crypto”

      We are just taking “crypto” back to mean something useful. It was just a matter of some stupid people losing enough money.

      I hope in a few years we can take “AI” back too.
