You lost me at "misnomered as AI". Artificial intelligence as a branch of Computer Science is a broad field covering not only LLMs - themselves a sub-branch of Deep Learning - but also Fuzzy Logic, Bayesian Reasoning and other statistical methods.

By any canonical definition; LLMs very much are AI.

Perhaps you meant 'AGI' as in Artificial General Intelligence which means 'human level across every domain'. Or, perhaps you know this and we're just being snarky about their current capabilities.

    They're saying that people are now referring to AI as LLMs only.

    Misnomer: "an adjective used to describe a person, place, or thing that has been given an incorrect, inappropriate, or unsuitable name or designation"

    It's like when you keep calling all squares rectangles. Yes it is technically correct, however, its an unsuitable name. Its misleading.
