In this position paper I provide a definition of AI that focuses on the kinds of problems AI can solve and a brief introduction to the broad field of AI. I then explain at a high level why LLMs fall short of their hype and always will, as a consequence of fundamental technical limitations. Within the framework laid out by this problem-driven view I then present a series of representative problems and AI solutions that are well-suited to solving them. Finally, I suggest an organizational
