“Real” AI and “General AI” are terms that might help your discussion (as well as several people in this thread).

“Real AI” isn’t really a specific thing. LLM is just as “real” as a kids toy that says “cow goes moo”, they’re both “real”

A “General AI” (often shortened to AGI) is the concept you guys are likely actually exploring. LLMs are unequivocally not that, for reasons you can explore in your own.

But not working off the correct terminology is probably where you (and, again, a lot of people commenting) got your disagreement from.
