    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.

          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.
