      Even if we called them LLMs, which we should, people will keep having these negative connotations to the technology because of overmarketing. This feature is still using LLMs, and that’s not supposed to be a bad thing.

      Stop blaming the technology, and blame the corpos pushing it to the moon. This is “BitTorrent is only used for piracy” bullshit all over again.

      But it is AI, so it should be called that. People should adjust their simplistic notions about the term instead

        Nah, it isn’t. Intelligence implies independence. What it is is a fancy algorithm with a big data set.

        It doesn’t have to be general ai to be called ai, but so far none of the models I’m aware of have reached a standard to be called intelligence in the colloquial sense for sure

          The term used in academic literature and the field itself for that kind of technology is and has been AI for at least ten years. Intelligence doesn’t imply independence anyways? And besides, even if it did, thats why an entire 50% of the term consists of the modifier “artificial”. So like, you’re right that it isn’t intelligence in the colloquial sense. It’s artificial intelligence in the technical and standardized sense, though. The use of term is pretty much totally undebatable. Just because people don’t like the term now doesn’t change that.

      This would have been better received if they just didn’t use AI in the name. Sure, it’s just using an LLM under the hood, but it’s running purely locally. It also betters Linux since it helps address an accessibility issue.
