AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it’s technically incorrect to conflate the two.

Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others. “GenAI” is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.

That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it’s incorrect to call LLMs “AI”, good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.
