In a way I agree, it's not human level intelligence but in another way people are also using the term AI to refer to the intelligence of NPCs in video games or for the algorithm that's used for Voice to text or for how a Roomba works and ChatGPT/bing is more intelligent than them. And thing is, I think we need a term for this simpler type of intelligence and since it is some level of intelligence which is artificial, I think AI is fine and Artificial General Intelligence can be used for what you're talking about
The nomenclature I've heard (from sci-fi) is 'narrow' or 'weak' AI would be our current day LLMs, Roomba AIs, etc. It's restricted in capability and lacks true intelligence. 'Strong' or 'General' AI would be at the level of a human and have true comprehension and the ability to learn. We don't have this yet, unless Dr. Alfred J. Lanning is out there working on positronics. 'Super' AI will be beyond human capability. Probably will kick off the Singularity.
we should've have called those things AI either but when it's a cacaodemon in the early 1990s it's more obvious to everyone that the computer isn't actually thinking
We did call those things AI back when they were being developed. It's just that advancements in AI that become immediately useful tend to get a different name.
there was no ambiguity between a tree and AGI like the marketing pukes are pushing today
I could go with that.
Still having a hard time with the idea that a thing could be even "some level of intelligent" without being sentient. But we don't need to continue from there, there's any number of people ready to pile on at that point and say that it's "all semantics anyway" or start deconstructing sentience.
