The only people saying LLMs are AI are people who are trying to make money off them. Do you remember that time a lawyer relied on “AI” to provide case history for him and it just made shit up out of thin air?

Explain it to me then.

Is it actually intelligent though? No. It’s a choose your own adventure being written with random quotes that it guesses are correct through context, but it often gets the context wrong.

So it’s not actually intelligent. Thus it’s not AI.
