LLM is

trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation

So... not related to the kind of AI mentioned in the article. You're the one who talked about LLMs and I don't know why.

I'm going to respond again here so you see it. You copied some of Wikipedia, congratulations, but you conveniently left out the bit that proves you wrong:

LLMs are Neural Networks. What does Wikipedia have to say about neural networks? Why, they're part of the field of Machine Learning!

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca -1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Because it's machine learning. That's the premise of the very first sentence I wrote. Are you sure you haven't surrendered all your thinking to the machine?

What exactly do you think LLMs are

LLM and ML are very different.

Are you sure you haven’t surrendered all your thinking to the machine?

I don't use AI because it sucks.

LLM and ML are very different.

No, they're not. Any line you try to draw between them is a lie you've convinced yourself of. There's no arguing with a take this detached from reality, though.

Edit: Okay smartarse, go ahead and explain how LLMs are not products of machine learning technology. Explain how these two things are unrelated. You're going to have to actually learn about training transformer layers to make any kind of argument, so you're going to pretty quickly realise you're entirely fucking wrong, and then you can scurry off to not acknowledge it here.
