I think one of the biggest mistakes we have made as an industry is conflating the words “AI” and “LLMs.” The irony is right there on the surface. Naming is one of the hardest things to do in software, and we’ve done it poorly for the primary tool of software.
Referring to a multimodal AI as an LLM isn’t technically accurate either, because it’s not just an LLM. There’s also the vision/audio encoders, diffusion model, and multimodal projectors.
