Calling llms “glorified predictive text” is like calling humans “glorified bacteria”
Both have the same goal: guess the next word; survive and reproduce, But the way they accomplish that goal requires orders of magnitude more complexity in the case of a human or LLM.
Just say LLM
nah, abbreviations are honestly kinda stupid…
everyone abbreviates as much as they can with as much stuff as they can, and you end up in dumb scenarios where you’re constantly asking people to define their abbreviations rendering them frustrating and useless
Ok just say “large language model”
It’s more descriptive of what it actually is? It’s not intelligence, so “counterfeit intelligence” is just as bad.
And yeah when it’s random ass abbreviations that’s valid, but when it’s “LLM” which is in every single news cycle, not as much of a problem… especially if you are on a site like lemmy. No one is going to ask you.
Considering Meta just got caught using contractors to make phone calls for their “AI” that can make phone calls and make reservations. It’s people making the phone calls. It’s people fixing the bad answers.
It’s Actually (underpaid) Indians
You think the problem with the term is…the first word?
no, but it drives a point home rather then just calling it shit
Several answers touch on this already. “Intelligence” is a very flattering “magic” feeling that doesn’t really explain what is happening with LLMs.
Probablistic/Statistical weights are heavily involved here. But it feels “intelligent” because of a combination with ever-expanding processing/computational speed and power that can be thrown at the prompts. Things that were previously limited to on-site super computers can now be accessed via the internets/online services.
It’s worth noting also that dynamic “seeding”, such as via on-demand searches can contribute to better/worse context resolution.
AI is the common speak for large language model querying (with all the above, plus other details), in mind. So, Probablistic Inferencing (at) Super Speed (i.e. “PISS”) seems about right to me!
If you’re going to change some part of the name, I think “intelligence” is the part you should be focused on

How about an echo of intelligence, as it rederived from intelligent signals.
It’s accurate to call AI in it’s current state “a toddler who knows how to google and read pretty well”
You can even say that to AI and they will agree with it
