I am not talking about what it does, I am talking about what it is.

And all tools do tend to replace human labor. For example, tractors replaced many farmhands.

The thing we face nowadays, and this is by no means limited to things like AI, is that less jobs are created by new tools than old destroyed (in my earlier simile, a tractor needs mechanics and such).

The definition of something is entirely disconnected from its usage (mainly).

And just because everyone calls LLMs now AI, there are plenty of scientific literature and things that have been called AI before. As of now, as it boils down all of these are algorithms.

The thing with machine learning is just that it is an algorithm that fine tunes itself (which is often blackbox-ish btw). And strictly speaking LLMs, commonly refered to as AI, are a subclass of ML with new technology.

I make and did not make any statement of the values of that technology or my stance on it

I mean doesn’t it heavily depend what you refer to as AI?

ML algorithms, come very close to LLMs and have been back in the day refered to as AI. They are also used in code completion.

Also both of these rely - in principle - on algorithms. One just has an algorithm with weights defined by data input.
