My experience is much like this (for context I’ve spoken about AIS to common public, online but mostly offline, to audiences from students to politicians). The more poetic, but also effective and intuitive way to call this out (while sacrificing some accuracy but I think not too much) is: “we GROW AI”. It puts it in categories with genetic engineering and pharmaceutical fairly neatly, and shows the difference between PowerPoint and ChatGPT in how they are made and why we don’t know how it works. It is also more intuitive compared to “black box” which is a more technical term and not widely known.
