They didn’t so much “evolve” as AI scared the shit out of us at such a deep level we changed the definition of AI to remain in denial about the fact that it’s here.
Since time immemorial, passing a Turing test was the standard. As soon as machines started passing Turing tests, we decided Turing tests weren’t such a good measure of AI.
But I haven’t yet seen an alternative proposed. Instead of using criteria and tasks to define it, we’re just arbitrarily saying “It’s not AGI so it’s not real AI”.
In my opinion, it’s more about denial than it is about logic.
You are unfortunately wrong on this one. The term “AI” has been used to describe things other than AGI since basically the invention of computers that could solve problems. The people that complain about using “AI” to describe LLMs are actually the ones trying to change language.
I think the modern pushback comes from people who get their understanding of technology from science fiction. SF has always (mis)used AI to mean sapient computers.
LLMs are a way of developing an AI. There’s lots of conspiracy theories in this world that are real it’s better to focus on them rather than make stuff up.
There really is an amazing technological development going on and you’re dismissing it on irrelevant semantics
In 2022 AI evolved into AGI and LLM into AI. Languages are not static as shown by old English. Get on with the times.

Changes to language to sell products are not really the language adapting but being influenced and distorted
