I feel like our current "AIs" are like the Virtual Intelligences in Mass Effect. They can perform some tasks and hold a conversation, but they aren't actually "aware". We're still far off from a true AI like the Geth or EDI.
I wish there was a term without "Intelligence" in it because LLMs aren't intelligent.
"AI" is always reserved for the latest tech in this space, the previous gens are called what they are. LMMs will be what these are called after a new iteration is out.

I wish we called them VI's. It was a good distinction in their ability.
Though honestly I think our AI is more advanced in conversation than a VI in ME.
I love reading Geth references in the wild.
This was the first thing that came to my mind as well and VI is such an apt term too. But since we live in the shittiest timeline Electronic Arts would probably have taken the Blizzard/Nintendo route too and patented the term.
