But even so- surely you don't believe that Generative AI programs and Hal 9000 are functionally identical? I just think it would be helpful to have a word that doesn't lump those things together.

But why are you continuing to refer to "AI" as "LLMs"? If you believe the very act of even making a distinction between "AI" and "LLMs" is orthagonal?
A little cumbersome but gets the job done lol
90% of people have very little concept about what AI or LLM’s are in the first place.
Yeah I mean I agree, I think that's why there needs to be a term that describes them.
I'm curious why you used said "LLM" in your reply? If you feel highlighting a distinction isn't important why not just say "AI" again?
"Electronic regurgitators"
"Nazis" are actually a great example of my point, you just didn't realize it!
When we say “Fuck National Socialism” are we inadvertently helping the “Socialist” companies by referring to their products as “Socialism”?
Well said! Echos my feelings exactly.
Historically the "artificial" part of "AI" implied the intelligence was real, but "constructed" or "not naturally evolved".
He's a good barometer to check in with and guage how far we've strayed from a lot of the idealism of the 1980s. Someone has to keep the flame alive.
If I'm reading correctly it sounds like you do agree with Stallman's main point that a casual distinction is needed, you just disagree on the word itself ("ANI" vs "generator").
