    Nah, it isn’t. Intelligence implies independence. What it is is a fancy algorithm with a big data set.

    It doesn’t have to be general ai to be called ai, but so far none of the models I’m aware of have reached a standard to be called intelligence in the colloquial sense for sure

      The term used in academic literature and the field itself for that kind of technology is and has been AI for at least ten years. Intelligence doesn’t imply independence anyways? And besides, even if it did, thats why an entire 50% of the term consists of the modifier “artificial”. So like, you’re right that it isn’t intelligence in the colloquial sense. It’s artificial intelligence in the technical and standardized sense, though. The use of term is pretty much totally undebatable. Just because people don’t like the term now doesn’t change that.
