    Are you talking about AI or LLM branded as LLM?

    Actual AI is accurate and efficient because it is designed for specific tasks. Unlike LLM which is just fancy autocomplete.

      LLMs are part of AI, so I think you’re maybe confused. You can say anything is just fancy anything, that doesn’t really hold any weight. You are familiar with autocomplete, so you try to contextualize LLMs in your narrow understanding of this tech. That’s fine, but you should actually read up because the whole field is really neat.

        Literally, LLMs are extensions of the techniques developed for autocomplete in phones. There’s a direct lineage. Same fundamental mathematics under the hood, but given a humongous scope.

          That’s not true.

            How is this untrue? Generative pre-training is literally training the model to predict what might come next in a given text.

      Even llms are useful for coding, if you keep it in its auto complete lane instead of expecting it to think for you

      Just don’t pay a capitalist for it, a tiny, power efficient model that runs on your own pc is more than enough

        Yes technology can be useful but that doesn’t make it “intelligent.”

        Seriously why are people still promoting auto-complete as “AI” at this point in time? It’s laughable.

      You might keep hearing people say this, but that doesn’t make it true (and it isn’t true).
