AI is like a hammer - eviltoast

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    LLMs are part of AI, which is a fairly large research domain of math/info, including machine learning among other. God, even linear regression can be classified as AI : that term is reeeally large

      I mean, I guess the way people use the term “AI” these days, sure, but we’re really beating all specificity out of the term.

        This is a domain research domain that contain statistic methods and knowledge modeling among other. That’s not new, but the fact that this is marketed like that everywhere is new

        AI is really not a specific term. You may refer as global AI, and I suspect that’s what you refer to when you say AI?

        it’s always been this broad, and that’s a good thing. if you want to talk about AGI then say AGI.
