      Using AI for anomaly detection is nothing new though. Haven’t read any article about this specific ‘discovery’ but usually this uses a completely different technique than the AI that comes to mind when people think of AI these days.

        That’s why I hate the term AI. Say it is a predictive llm or a pattern recognition model.

          Say it is a predictive llm

          According to the paper cited by the article OP posted, there is no LLM in the model. If I read it correctly, the paper says that it uses PyTorch’s implementation of ResNet18, a deep convolutional neural network that isn’t specifically designed to work on text. So this term would be inaccurate.

          or a pattern recognition model.

          Much better term IMO, especially since it uses a convolutional network. But since the article is a news publication, not a serious academic paper, the author knows the term “AI” gets clicks and positive impressions (which is what their job actually is) and we wouldn’t be here talking about it.

          it’s a good term, it refers to lots of thinks. there are many terms like that.

              the word program refers to even more things and no one says it’s a bad word.

              It’s literally the name of the field of study. Chances are this uses the same thing as LLMs. Aka a neutral network, which are some of the oldest AIs around.

              It refers to anything that simulates intelligence. They are using the correct word. People just misunderstand it.
