Some people don’t even consider LLMs to be AI because they don’t consider them smart enough and or because they lack sentience.
Before LLMs, machine learning has been considered “AI”. DDG/Bing likely uses machine learning for their page rankings, are they going to stop that because this poll said no to AI?
The poll is just too vague with what AI means. When people say they hate AI nowadays, they typically don’t literally mean that. They really mean they hate how things like how LLMs are shoved into services that don’t need them, tech bros non-nonchalantly talking about replacing humans entirely, environmental impact of LLMs, people using LLMs for too many things, etc. Outside of stuff like that, there’s plenty of good uses of “AI”.
AI as in the ubiquitous multicultural definition that had been used by corporations worldwide for multiple years.

Even then, what do you consider AI?
