    The thing is, AI has been around for a really long time and has lots of established use-cases. Unfortunately, none of them are to do with generative language/image models. AI is mainly used for classifying data as part of data science. But data science is extremely unsexy to the average person, so for them AI has become synonymous with the ChatGPTs and DALLEs of the world.

      Don’t worry, once the hype fades, we can start calling LLMs “machine learning” again

      Yeah, so far we’ve had discriminative AI (takes complex input, gives simple output).
      Now we have generative AI (takes simple input, gives complex output).

      I imagine, the discussion above is about generative AI…
