AI as a term is constantly changing when it comes to what we actually consider to be meeting its criteria. When chess playing bots were starting to get really good in the 90s for example, people commonly considered that the pinnacle of AI until they got used to it and started to dissociate from that. Rinse and repeat with LLMs today.
Besides, AI is a field, not necessarily a technology, and the capabilities a computer requires for it to be considered “intelligent” aren’t even remotely similar to that of a human being. You can consider a computer intelligent without it being necessarily illogical.
The context has changed. It’s destroying neighborhoods, property values, home computing, water, electricity bills, etc on a global scale precisely when we’re running low and prices are too high.
I don’t disagree. My point though is that artificial intelligence and what can be considered as such isn’t the same as what can be considered human intelligence. They don’t share very many mutual aspects aside from those on a very broad and non-specific scale. Therefore considering things such as LLMs an AI isn’t necessarily a misnomer.

That is in no way comparable to a chess bot.
