As usual, the term AI is used for Machine Learning. Nothing to do with the Techbros large scale language model dead end. Sad that a success like this could be misconstrued to be a Techbro success.

    They‘re based on the same principle and are therefore both AI or based on machine learning. The actual misconception comes from LLMs being treated as AI when they‘re just a product of machine learning. Both things are based on the same principles of pattern recognition and training data, though.

    The difference here is that scientist use machine learning for something useful while tech bros use it to make word salad generators.
