Whose idea was it to give ChatGPT and the like the name "artificial intelligence"? I think it's one of the worst marketing blunders for new technology ever. Humans are prone to calling anything that feels familiar enough to them "intelligent", and now they can justify it to themselves because the creators deemed it "artificial intelligence."
Something closer to the term "GPGPU" would have at least given more of a sense of reality. There is nothing intelligent about a GPU crunching billions of numbers in a massively parallel way and converting those numbers into something that happens to interface convincingly with the human sensory systems. It's just an algorithm with so much data that one can't comprehend thinking about the sheer size of it, so naturally it must be thought of as "intelligent."
