Can someone email the author and explain what a LLM is?

People asking for 'right' answers, don't really get it. I'm sorry if that sounds abrasive, but these people give LLMs a bad name due to their own ignorance/malice.

I remember having some Amazon programmer trash LLMs for 'not being 100% accurate'. It was really an iD10t error. LLMs arent used for 100% accuracy. If you are doing that, you don't understand the technology.

There is a learning curve with LLMs, and it seems a few people still don't get it.

The real problem is that it's not marketed that way. WE may understand that but most people, heck even in my experience a large percentage of tech people, don't. They think there is some kind of true intelligence (it's literally in the name) behind it. Just like I also understand that the top results on Google are not always the best.. but my parents don't.

I think you're wrong about that. They shouldn't be, but they clearly are.
