I wish they picked a better acronym than LLM, it’s really awkward to say. Maybe then people wouldn’t call everything “A.I.”. It’s the equivalent of calling everything from a phone to a desktop to a traffic light “a computer”
It’s more awkward to say because it’s “ell-ell-emm” not “el-em-ent”. It’s like that middle part of the alphabet that kids always fuck up “ell emm enn” and it’s practically a tongue twister.
