I just call them what they do. Text generator. Image denoiser. Having used every pre-LLM version of accelerated statistical analysis out there (anything meant to find patterns in data), it’s always been machine learning outputs. AI was only ever a term I heard in video gaming, which still seems more appropriate.
Its not AI. Ai is a marketing term to get investors to throw money at them. Theres nothing intelligent happening here.
I suppose using it as a shorthand is misleading since it lends credibility to its misnomer; do we just stick to calling it LLMs then?
