The goal posts will constantly shift just like Self driving. AI used to really mean AGI but that doesn’t get investments.

- danaris 1y agoAI always meant AGI. AI also never meant AGI. Artificial Intelligence is an entire discipline of the Computer Science field. It encompasses everything from how Pinky, Blinky and Clyde chase Pac-Man, to A* search and similar pure algorithms, to machine learning, computer vision, and LLMs. It is also a term used widely in popular culture and media to mean, essentially, AGIs—Cortana, Agent Smith, C-3PO. The problem is not that this term is very broad, and it certainly isn't that it has come to mean something that it didn't before. It is that a bunch of people with a financial interest have been busily trying to convince the world that LLMs are Cortana.
