I try to say "LLM" as much as possible, but I'm aware that it's unlikely to work.
Partly for technical accuracy, partly to manage the average person's expectations when they hear "AI", partly to avoid contributing to a big dumb-money "everything is AI" bubble, etc.
- jiggawatts 4mo agoI call it "mechanised coding".
- Rendello 4mo agoOr "gen(erative) AI". I must admit that as soon as I saw AI in the title, I lost interest until I realized it was classic AI. The term seems so far gone now but we don't have a good classifier for the non-gen-ai yet.
- _0ffh 4mo agoYou can try "language model", that's what I use when talking (when writing I use LLM when I expect the abbreviation to be understood). I find just juxtaposing these two normal words flows much more nicely from the tongue than the comparatively awkward "LLM".
- amelius 4mo agoWe probably should call LLMs "Alchemy" at least until the big AI companies remove the disclaimer that "AI can make mistakes".
