It's not the AI you're thinking of. This has nothing to do with image creation or large language models.
Good (but sad) demo of how LLMs and stable diffusion have completely poisoned the term AI to the point that even legit use-cases get shit on by association.
Nothing in existence that has been labeled AI is AI. If AI (actual meaning of the words) exists, it's in some secret facility and we don't know about it. AI outside of fiction is a meaningless marketing term. That was already the case before LLMs and stable diffusion.
I think you’re thinking of AGI.
No. That's another bullshit marketing term people came up with when confronted with the fact that their "AI" contains no I.
No, it’s a term that creates a meaningful distinction between what you seem to think AI means and what it actually means.
If you refuse to accept either term then I can only assume you’re just being stubborn for the sake of it.
A distinction necessitated by marketing abusing it and watering it down beyond usefulness. Rinse and repeat and we'll be talking about SAAGAITSRI (super advanced actual general artificial intelligence that shows real intelligence) in 10 to 20 years.
