gRegor [tantek], no strong preference. I think I added it to jargon because at least for a while we were nudging people to -dev or -chat for that topic, iirc
#
[tantek] right, there's a difference between ChatGPT and say "LLM" in that regard, in which I agree, better to nudge the latter to -dev or -chat
#
[tantek] I'm mixed on "AI" or "Gen AI" or "generative AI" because those are terms that could be applicable to user-centric conversations and have pop-media presence
#
tantek.com edited /Category:jargon (+27) "drop ChatGPT (an actual user-facing service and .com like Google) and add LLM and large language model instead" (view diff)
#
[tantek] ^ ok sticking with that for now, in an attempt to preserve at least some of the intent of that "for a while we were nudging people to -dev or -chat for that topic,"
#
aaronpk It's funny because GPT is definitely jargon but OpenAI managed to get "ChatGPT" into common usage
#
[tantek] gRegor or others, if you come up with an opinion about "Gen AI" or "generative AI", feel free to share
#
[tantek] aaronpk right!
#
[tantek] aaronpk it doesn't hurt that it's a dotcom that "just works" for folks without login!
#
gRegor I don't even know what the GPT stands for
#
aaronpk Tho didn't they just buy chat.com to rebrand it?
#
[tantek] wow
#
capjamesg[d] gRegor Generative Pretrained Transformer.
#
capjamesg[d] It's a mouthful 😭
#
gRegor So you could say it's... more than meets the AI 😎
#
capjamesg[d] It uses the "transformer" neural network architecture developed by Google researchers and released in an academic paper several years ago.
#
capjamesg[d] I'm not sure what the pre-trained part means.
#
capjamesg[d] From Wikipedia: "It is based on the transformer deep learning architecture, pre-trained on large data sets of unlabeled text, and able to generate novel human-like conten"
#
capjamesg[d] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_pre-trained_transformer
#
capjamesg[d] [edit] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_pre-trained_transformer
#
capjamesg[d] TIL!
#
gRegor thx!
#
capjamesg[d] Knowing that abbreviation is one of my party tricks 😂
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d] and here I thought GPT stood for GenAI Party Trick 😂
#
aaronpk gRegor++ for the excellent pun
#
Loqi gRegor has 53 karma in this channel over the last year (129 in all channels)
#
capjamesg[d] [tantek]++ also for the excellent pun.
#
Loqi [tantek] has 41 karma in this channel over the last year (141 in all channels)
#
gRegor haha
#
capjamesg[d] Who can give us a third pun? 😂
#
capjamesg[d] (See #cafe for a related Taylor Swift lyric 😂 )
#
aaronpk Quick someone ask ChatGPT for more acronym expansions of GPT
#
capjamesg[d] Great Pineapple Taste
#
[tantek] > What does ChatGPT stand for? Wrong answers only.
#
capjamesg[d] Groovy Pink Tractor
#
[tantek] > ChatGPT stands for *"Cheese And Tacos Give People Tranquility."* It’s a secret society dedicated to spreading culinary peace through AI conversations.
#
capjamesg[d] (These are mine.)
#
capjamesg[d] Gratuitous "Private" Tracking
#
[tantek] ^ actual result from the .com in a private browser window
#
[tantek] mmm tacos. well it is Taco Tuesday
#
capjamesg[d] Gravyboats Power Toys
#
[tantek] capjamesg[d], ChatGPT came up with one especially for you 😂
#
[tantek] > What does GPT stand for? Wrong answers only.
#
[tantek] > GPT stands for *Giant Pancake Tossing*. It's an elite competition where contestants hurl pancakes from towering stacks to see who can launch the fluffiest one the farthest.
#
capjamesg[d] I love pancakes.
#
capjamesg[d] How do I only have one blog post that mentions pancakes?
#
capjamesg[d] And only four that mention waffles...
#
[tantek] should be a partner competition, one person throws, the other has to catch the pancake with their mouth
#
capjamesg[d] Reminds me of https://youtu.be/YaQqj2PmBh4?t=46
#
capjamesg[d] [edit] Reminds me of https://youtu.be/YaQqj2PmBh4?t=46
#
carrvo[d] I am quite surprised at how much jargon makes it into pop-media and common usage. Like yesterday I learned that "hydrator" is a technical term that makes it onto everyday lotion bottles...
#
[tantek] lol
