Luckily that was only the abbreviation and not the actual word. I know that language changes all the time, constantly, but I still find it annoying when a properly established and widely (within reason) used term gets appropriated and hijacked.
I mean, I guess it happens all the time in with fiction, and in sciences you sometimes run into a situation where an old term just does not fit new observations, but please keep your slimy, grubby, way-too-adhesive, klepto-grappers away from my perfectly fine professional umbrella terms. :(
Please excuse my rant.

LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term “AI” is really annoying.
In more than one questionnaire or discussion: Q: “Do you use AI at work?” A: “Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc.” Q: “How has AI influenced your productivity at work?” A: ???
Can’t mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.

That does make way more sense. Though, the ad makes it seem like a (clothing) set and not a skin, but I’ve never played the finals so I wouldn’t know.

So the way that promotion is worded, if I stream “the finals” to a friend for 15 minutes I’m guaranteed to receive that item, shipping paid for and all, like in a quest? Or are they just baiting and entering you in a lottery?
Seems like an easy way to farm real life merchandise.

Depending on the definition, you’re not obscuring traffic if you’re driving 60kmh in the fastlane either, or if only you manage to get over the green light because of your tardiness, as traffic is still flowing, just very, very slow.
Either way, you’ll be slowing down traffic and get in the way of other drivers, unless you are the only person on the road.

Where do you live, OP?
In Denmark it goes in the same category as not driving when the light is green or keeping to the left on the highway.
While you seldomly see someone get fined for it, taking more than two turns in the roundabout is considered an obstruction of traffic, and therefore illegal.

Not relevant to the question, but the overuse of hearts makes it seem like they play more on feelings than on logic. Kinda feels like a cult.
