I’m still to be convinced that all these AIs aren’t just very good chat bots, they can line up words (or pixels) in a realistic way, but I feel there’s no reasoning behind them.
A lot of people, and not just commoners, see “AI” and think “sci-fi robot!”
They aren’t even “very good”
I thought I would use it to generate a short story that used a few specific words. I used about half of the requested words, when asked, it said this is embarrassing and tried again, I eventually gave up retrying, it never got all of the words, and when asked which words it omitted it would get that wrong too.
It feels like the quality has gone downhill from when they were first introduced.

What you described is exactly what an LLM is. I’m piloting one for work, and sometimes it is useful, while other times it makes up random shit.

AI is a marketing term, the association is a deliberate choice by companies trying to market “the future”
