    You’re misquoting me. I haven’t claimed LLMs appeared out of nowhere.

        Those are not my words and you know it. You’re misquoting me.

          LLM’s are not the only type of AI out there. ChatGPT appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Whose to say the next AI system wont do that as well?

          I’m not sure what I’m misquoting. A large language model is not AI, a large language model is a non-human readable function used by a generative AI algorithm.

          Simply put, ChatGPT did not appear out of nowhere.

            ChatGPT did not appear out of nowhere

            I agree.

            The key word there is seemingly. The technology itself had existed for a long time, but it wasn’t until the massive leap OpenAI made with it that it actually became popular. Before ChatGPT, 99% of people had never heard of LLMs, and now everyone has. That’s what I mean when I say it appeared seemingly out of nowhere - it took the masses by surprise. There’s no reason to assume another company working on a different approach to AI won’t make a similar massive breakthrough, giving us AI far more powerful than LLMs and taking everyone by surprise, despite the base technology having existed for a long time.

            A large language model is not AI

            It is AI though - a subset of generative AI to be specific, but it still falls under the AI category.
