Without over-disclosing: I work in a highly technical field. We've done considerable assessment of LLMs and our conclusion so far is that they're largely useless to us. But since long before the LLM craze, we've also been exploring ML applications, and some of those have been yielding interesting results.

Both are flavors of AI. It's just that one is in a massive hype cycle right now, so correcting unreasonable expectations is a necessity.

I don't see how using terms correctly is doing "the devils work" if anything its a useful corrective to "chat bots do all the things" to explain to people that AI is an umbrella term that includes many things.
