Why are we calling the subject "LLM" as if it had agency? Clickbaity title

  I wouldn't consider it clickbait any more than "pedestrian struck by vehcile." It's implied that LLMs are tools.

    More like "gun kills person"... "Passenger struck by vehicle" is in the passive voice, which makes it very different. I imagine you agree "vehicle strikes passenger" would sound very strange, would it not?

      I think "gun kills person" sounds strange, but "vehicle hits person" does not. I've seen countless articles with a headline of that nature. http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/metro-north-service-suspended-after-train-hits-person-near-ansonia/3156837/%3famp=1 http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/metro-north-service... Chalk it up to English being weird, I guess.

        Fair enough and thanks for the example! Not to move goalposts too much, but I still think the LLM scenario is a bit different precisely because it is not necessarily implied that LLM are tools given they are closely related to the concept of "intelligence"
