There’s a good point here that like about 80% of what we’re calling AI right now… isn’t even AI or even LLM. It’s just… algorithm, code, plain old math. I’m pretty sure someone is going to refer to a calculator as AI soon. “Wow, it knows math! Just like a person! Amazing technology!”
(That’s putting aside the very question of whether LLMs should even qualify as AIs at all.)
In my professional experience, AI seems to be just a faster way to generate an algorithm that is really hard to debug. Though I am dev-ops/sre so I am not as deep in it as the devs.
