If you mean the particular subtype of AI that is the currently fashionable shiny object people are chasing, then no, it is not.
If you mean it's AGI, then no, definitely not, but then, nothing is. (Whoever was about to stand up and say "how do you know that ChatGPT isn't AGI", don't. You'll thank me in three years that those words are not attached to your name in public.)
If you mean, does it fall into what people would have described as AI before marketers, executives, and other similarly ignorant people started using "AI" to refer specifically to generative models, then yes, it absolutely is.
- ajuc 2y agoAI was never well defined. AB tree pruning chess engines were called AI at one point. Game programmers call A* and behaviour trees - AI. At this point it means nothing. Call it machine learning or automated optimization. Arguably you could do the same thing with a greedy algorithm iterating over all solutions. Would that be AI too?
- entropygiggles 2y ago> At this point it means nothing. Which is why we should stop using it, and refer to A* as A*, LLMs as LLMs, evolutionary algorithms as evolutionary algorithms, et cetera. I doubt this will happen in my lifetime.
- short_sells_poo 2y agoUnfortunately the moment you get dollar bills attached to particular words, everyone starts using them. AI sells. Evolutionary algorithms do not. So everyone chasing the sweet dollar will say AI and other buzzwords.
