Thinking a lot about how AI is different from human brains. I think the next few years will be fun, I think there will be more philosophical (and possibly scientific) exploration into things like consciousness and free will.
What you call "AI" is not intelligence. Is just a computer program (remember is A PROGRAM) that is trained to read what humans put in storage data, information.
The so called "AI" will never have human intelligence, but in time will make humans dumb because they will get too used to use this so called "AI".
So let's stop calling it "AI". Is a total bullshit to enslave more the humanity. That's all.

I think "intelligence" is technically a fair word to use for something that gathers and utilizes information correctly or accurately, but I would agree with you that a distinction does need to be made.
I prefer to call it the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Just because you can acquire knowledge doesn't mean you can problem solve effectively or think creatively, and LLMs are a great example of that.
AI can absolutely help people gain knowledge quickly, and optimistically, this could give us MORE opportunity to focus on what really matters: the raw ideas and concepts behind the knowledge, the effective application of knowledge, creativity, and real wisdom.
That's why I'd agree with you that distinctions about what AI can and can't do is extremely important for us to make the most of it and avoid being completely stunted by it. Using AI does not inevitably enslave you.
