    It’s not AI, it’s neural network models

    These used to be called AI before people decided that only LLMs and Diffusion models were AI. Both of which are types of neural networks.

      But much more loosely-so, not nearly as heavily. It was more like a seldom-used term to say that it might be like what machine learning actually was.

      Now they’re all being called it heavily, forcefully, by corporations which started using it for capitalistic hype reasons. Hence, the push for strong distinctions between a field that’s been around for quite a while as algorithms in mathematics being a variety of types, and lazy slop that “just one more prompt bro” and “we can replace workers”. Even DLSS wasn’t called “AI” until the hype train started, and now Jensen Huang can’t call it that often enough lest he be unable to afford yet another leather jacket as if they’re disposable glasses wipes.
