    Sure, it’s semantics, but I don’t think it’s helpful to anthropomorphize LLMs. Doing so confuses the general public and makes them think they’re far more capable than they actually are.

      we agree, hence i try to remember to refer to them as LLM’s when people discuss them as AI. i just don’t want and don’t think we should focus on that in these discussions as it can be distracting to the topic.

      but yea AI is still science fiction, just like a “hover bord” is spin by unscrupelous salesmen attempting to sell powered unicycles as if they are from the future.
