Litterally everything we have ever made and called an AI is an algorithm. Just because we’ve made algorithms for making bigger, more complicated algorithms we don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s actually anything fundamentally different. Look at input, run numbers, give output. That’s all there ever has been. That’s how thermostats work, and it’s also how LLMs work. It’s only gotten more complicated. It has never actually changed.
A thermostat is an algorithm. Maybe. Can be done mechanically. That’s not much of a decision, “is number bigger?”
