For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

It's Large Language Models (LLM). You should not call it AI anyway.
La La Models
except that people are pissed at things like image generators too, which aren't LLMs at all. So we use the umbrella term "AI" which people understand.
Both are generative AI
LLM is a subfield of a subfield of AI.
What's your point? LLM is still a part of AI.
Yeah, but people think it's Intelligent, which causes issues.
Well, the companies that train them also want you to mistake it for a person, what with "thinking..." and whatnot.
I see your point. Like how the cloud isn't a cloud and a bug in a computer is rarely a real bug.
It's been "AI" for like 70 years now. The term will probably stay.
It's important to reiterate to non-techies that what we commonly refer to today as AI is all essentially a best-next-word generator.
That's not where the money is though
The language has already moved on.
* Dislike it all you want, that is the truth.
We don't fight game AI being called AI. Why? Because it's part of the language. Everyone knows what it means and that it's not actually anything intelligent. Explaining LLM to another PM every week instead of just saying AI or gen AI just makes you annoying at this point. Noone cares.
