The user argues this distinction is necessary because the broader field of AI encompasses more than just LLM-based systems, and the industry has intentionally marketed LLM-gen-AI as simply "AI" to generate hype.

IMPACT This proposal aims to clarify terminology in the AI space, potentially aiding public understanding of LLM capabilities versus broader AI concepts.
