- cycomanic 11mo agoWhen I read posts like this I despair. I mean I can sort of understand that ML an AI have become largely synonymous, but that even on a technical website for nerds like HN, people now think that AI and LLMs are synonymous and that translation engines are not AI?!
- jcranmer 11mo agoAIUI, the AI-based translation models are based on the same transformer-oriented neural nets that LLMs are based on, just not quite writ as large. In other words, it's not entirely inaccurate to call these models LLMs. While there's a lot of other AI technologies that aren't LLMs, automatic translation is probably the closest technology phylogenitically speaking.
