Yes, it is, for the reasons I stated in my comment, and you only need look at any OAI/Anthropic press release to see evidence of this in the language they use.
The LLM now reasons better! Set the thinking level! It learns!
All of these phrases are designed to give the impression that the LLM is an autonomous entity, when it is no such thing.
"Learning" is Samuel 1959, "agent" is standard textbook AI, "inference" is older still.
