    As someone in the know i agree, but for the “common folk” out there with a very limited tech background, it’s probably the easiest way to get the point what was used across.

      No it’s just straight up lazy and leading people to believe ChatGPT is out there solving archeological problems and is actually valuable. Just call it machine learning and go. Most non tech people won’t care, and they won’t keep having that association reinforced.

        You’ve got a point there, i did not take into account that this reinforces the perception of LLMs as something close to AGI (which was pushed heavily by Altman and Amodei).
