Man I swear, AI is like astrology, people have strong opinions about it but haven’t done any research into what it actually is. So much more nuanced than ‘AI bad!’
Large Language Model (LLM) is like astrology, Mashine Learning (ML) is like astronomy. I hate that they both refer to as AI.
Neither of them really fit, but AI is a very marketable term. So basically anything that does stuff on a computer will be labeled that when someone wants to sell it badly enough.
