OK, and my point is that people are using the term "AI" so loosely as to be indistinguishable from "algorithm".

We'll still have the statistical protein folding models after this bubble eventually pops, we're just not gonna call it "AI". It's a trendy marketing department word, and its usefulness as a description in Computer Science is rapidly diminishing.

    I would say it just got widespread use, I definitely heard of MS Word doing autofill as ‘AI’ at the time when deep learning was freshly invented thing. People tried to label a lot of things ‘AI’, with LLMs the label just stuck better

    overheard, rumored, etc: advances in ai are then quickly popularized, to the point where they're no longer thought of as ai. then people look at the main ai field, and think "why haven't they done any ai work?"
