Before deep learning and post the AI winters, people just called it machine learning, because "artificial intelligence" sounded ridiculously pretentious and misleading. I don't think machine learning as a method is shit. We've all been using it in some way for years. But AI products like the ones you had to deal with definitely are and should never be released

LLM is not machine learning
Driverless cars don't use LLM. LLM is a specific tech distinct from trad machine learning and recognition

Kinda yeah and kinda no
Machine learning as a phrase is usually referring to stuff like image recognition. LLM has become sufficiently specialised to deserve it's own treatment separate from say using image recognition to spot cancers in x-rays and stars in telescope data. That special treatment is to say "fuck it" it will end everything of value
