    How is AI a marketing term for LLM? Aren’t LLMs neural networks, which is an AI technique?
    It sure bugs me how everyone suddenly started to use the word “AI” exclusively to refer to LLMs, but the term is not wrong either.

        The video game industry has it’s own definition of what an “AI” is, which is very different than everywhere else.

        To a layman, no it’s not and should not be viewed as the same, either. One is a MASSIVE stack of precomputed matrices (NOT a neural network), the other a stack of predetermined algorithms with some random() thrown in.

        They are all actually and literally completely different in form, function, and computing requirement.

          The precomputed matrices are definitely a neural network. GPT literally stands for generative pre-trained transformer, a transformer being a well known neural network architecture.

            No, a neural network is explicitly a type of architecture that mimics neurons. A transformer is just that: a methematical operation.

            You’re making the mistake of calling a backhoe a “tractor” just because it’s also used for moving dirt around… Yes, both are heavy machinery, but that doesn’t magically make the terms interchangeable.
