The general public paid nearly no attention to LLMs before ChatGPT though.

When I first read of ChatGPT, I just thought "oh, they turned the technology behind /r/subsimulatorgpt2 into a chatbot, huh, neat". I suspect that a lot of other people had never seen the acronym GPT before though.

    Was that an LLM in the modern sense? I don't remember this one, but do remember SmarterChild.

    I think cleverbot used the retrieval method, using other people's responses back at you rather than generating text. I don't know enough about how these things work, but it was obvious you weren't talking to a human.
