Is that it frames generative, deep neural networks as the only kinds of AI out there, and then a lot of popsci communicators are calling it "not real AI" to distinguish from the Hollywood version.

And I'm just here as a former academic in the field like "no, it's Hollywood who's wrong and also there's a bunch of other tools that count as AI that don't even need training, they're completely hand authored" and GAH.

Like I get it, I understand why people are presenting it this way on a high level but it's my version of watching people talk about Han Sulu, their favorite Star Trek character.
