    What exactly do YOU think LLMs are?

    Machine Learning is a kind of AI. LLMs are but one kind of Machine Learning Model. All LLMs are Machine Learning models, but not all Machine Learning models are LLMs. LLMs are one kind of AI, but not all AI is an LLM.

    They’re different words for a reason. If they were all the same thing, we wouldn’t give them different names. It’s completely possible and understandable that someone would find one acceptable but not the other.

    There’s nothing quite so uniquely irritating as someone who holds a strong opinion on something about which they know very little.

      I believe you’ll find I said

      Machine learning, including LLMs, are a technology.

      Because LLMs are a subset of ML models. I never said all ML is LLMs, but the person I’m responding to doesn’t seem to understand that LLMs are trained via Machine Learning. Thanks for the misplaced condescension though, looks real good on you.
