  Say it is a predictive llm

  According to the paper cited by the article OP posted, there is no LLM in the model. If I read it correctly, the paper says that it uses PyTorch’s implementation of ResNet18, a deep convolutional neural network that isn’t specifically designed to work on text. So this term would be inaccurate.

  or a pattern recognition model.

  Much better term IMO, especially since it uses a convolutional network. But since the article is a news publication, not a serious academic paper, the author knows the term “AI” gets clicks and positive impressions (which is what their job actually is) and we wouldn’t be here talking about it.

    That performance curve seems terrible for any practical use.

      Yeah that’s an unacceptably low ROC curve for a medical usecase

      Good catch!

    Well, this is very much an application of AI… Having more examples of recent AI development that aren’t ‘chatgpt’(/transformers-based) is probably a good thing.

      Op is not saying this isn’t using the techniques associated with the term AI. They’re saying that the term AI is misleading, broad, and generally not desirable in a technical publication.

        Correct, also not what I was replying about. I said that using AI in the headline here is very much correct. It is after all a paper using AI to detect stuff.

  The correct term is “Computational Statistics”

    Stop calling it that, you’re scaring venture capital

  it’s a good term, it refers to lots of thinks. there are many terms like that.

    it refers to lots of thinks

    So it’s a bad term.

      It’s literally the name of the field of study. Chances are this uses the same thing as LLMs. Aka a neutral network, which are some of the oldest AIs around.

        If people consistently misunderstand it, it’s a bad term for communicating the concept.

      the word program refers to even more things and no one says it’s a bad word.

    The problem is that it refers to so many and constantly changing things that it doesn’t refer to anything specific in the end. You can replace the word “AI” in any sentence with the word “magic” and it basically says the same thing…
