        Know at this point I’m just kind of laughing. Let me just one of the few places where you can see one dude say that generative AI is the only real sort of AI. The next due to forum over is going to tell you that generative AI is the only sort of AI, because that’s what the unwashed masses have declared. Yet another dude will claim AI itself isn’t real.

        At the same time all these internet bros waxing philosophical about AI seemingly have no idea what the field is actually about. But like it or not as an area of study, it’s probably been one of the most consequential to computing and the rest of the world outside of areas like cybersecurity.

        The difference is it’s always been operating in the background and you chuds didn’t even know it was there.

      Studying something doesn’t make the subject legitimate. There are plenty of academic fields rooted in imaginary conjurings, like theology, economics, and business.

      I trust you and your colleagues do, in fact, know what you’re talking about; my argument is if you’re claiming any function or output of a LLM should be in any way considered adjacent to intelligence, what you’re saying is gibberish.
