I doubt it. The entire purpose of an LLM is to make a model that does language (or at least something close enough). It's an easy mistake to name something what you hope it will do instead of what it literally is. Unfortunately, that distinction becomes important later.
It's a similar problem with "AI". Artificial Intelligence does not exist, yet we put that name on all kinds of things. This causes real problems, too: by labeling an LLM "AI", we anthropomorphize it. From then on, the entire narrative is misleading.
- drdeca 3y agoIntelligence does not imply sapience, or person-like-ness.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoIt doesn't need to to be a problem. An LLM is a model, not an actor. As soon as we call it "AI", that distinction gets muddled, and the whole narrative follows.
