    LLM stands for “large language model” in other words, it is a big neural machine. Saying they don’t use LLMs is like saying the ocean isn’t blue, it’s azure.

      An LLM is a type of artificial neural network, but not every ANN is an LLM. So its a lot more like saying that not every red thing is a firetruck.

      That is an extremely simple concept that even toddlers can understand.

        I’m having trouble passing your comment. Are you saying I’m more stupid than a toddler, or that the marketers are?

      LLMs work by increasing scale, number of separate neural networks, to increase accuracy when improvement from training hits a wall. Which is very problematic because it means power consumption becomes exponential. I think most people won’t have a problem with neural networks, but certainly do have a problem with LLMs.

        Machine learning, neutral networks, AI, in general it’s very useful when trained at a specific task. LLMs are most certainly where things went wrong.
