How often do you use "AI" to reply to your messages, if at all? (feddit.de)

The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.

Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I'll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

I prefer to call them LLMs (Large Language Models). It’s how they are referred to in the industry and I think it’s far more accurate than “AI”

Thank you, it's frustrating seeing (almost) everyone call them AI. If/when actual AI comes into existence I think a lot of people are going to miss the implications as they've become used to every LLM and its grandmother being called AI.

AI is correct though, it is a form of AI. It's just a more general term and LLM is more specific.

But I want to be an obnoxious pedantic asshole!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Then you'll fit right in.

I debated whether I should write LLMs or AI. Generally I dislike AI as well, but choose it due to it's popularity. Definitely share your sentiment though!

Wait it's large language models? I thought it was language learning models
