And that last point is why I have disagreed with the term's use since the start. It's not AI. It never has been, and likely never will be. It appears like it is, because, as Clarke once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." It's amazing and powerful, but if every advanced piece of computer code that does or does not use a transformer model is "AI" then the words lose all meaning. Which is what has happened.
So now the reason you can't distinguish a position is because the category is basically everything people are amazed by that a computer does. Being for/against AI is now largely meaningless, because the term has no meaning.
