    the thinking model

    Ugh… can we all just stop for a moment to acknowledge how obnoxious this branding is? They’ve already corrupted the term “AI” to the point of being completely meaningless, are they going to remove all meaning from the word “thinking” now too?

      Did they? Afaik, LLMs are an application of AI that falls under natural language processing. It’s like calling a rhombus a geometric shape because that’s what it is. And this usage goes back decades to, for example, A* pathfinding algorithms and hard-coded decision trees for NPCs.

      E: Downvotes for what, disagreeing? At least point out why I’m wrong if you think you know better.
