These violent delights have violent ends.

I agree, but my big question is are we done calling LLMs "AI" yet?

It's a Westworld reference.

As laymen definitions are incoherent nonsense derived from fiction, the popular culture definition of AI isn't a reasonable substitute for the theory-laden definitions. The four definitions given in Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach all substantiate the claim that LLMs are AI. So not only are we not done calling LLMs AI, but it would be incorrect to claim that LLMs are not AI.
