I've recently had the thought that there is an incredibly popular "AI" that is
1) Treated within universe as non-intelligent
2) Incredibly talented at understanding language and translating it directly into commands
3) Often compared unfavourably to actually intelligent AI
LLMs are the star-trek shipboard computer.

Though to extend the analogy, LLMs may be capable of giving rise to true AI in the same way that the Enterprise's main computer could fairly trivially create sentient (and seemingly sapient) individuals like Dr. Moriarty, or the Doctor, despite not having that property itself.
