For a similar reason, I have largely come around to using “AI” instead of “LLM” in most cases. What people mean by AI is the total package of a quasi-intelligent entity that you can communicate with using human natural language. The LLM is just the token predictor part, but you don’t use an LLM by itself, any more than you use a red blood cell by itself. You use the whole… artificial organism. “Inorganism”?
It seems like a goed starting point to simply start from how you would treat a human intelligence and then look for differences.
The term “LLM” remains important for the historical dividing line for when AIs took the leap into effective natural language interfaces. However, an AI is still an AI. They just got a lot better all of a sudden.
Likewise, it seems fine to consider the AI of a computer game to be a plain old AI and to not need any scare quotes. It’s acting like a intelligent being but is something that humans created; hence, an artificial intelligence.
