Users debate AI terminology and share AI/ML learning progress

One user is advocating for more precise terminology, suggesting that Large Language Models (LLMs) should not be broadly categorized as 'AI' but rather as a specific type of Machine Learning. Other posts detail a user's ongoing learning journey in AI and ML, focusing on statistical concepts like hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, and comparing means and proportions. Another post highlights a blog entry discussing the use of '99%-tools,' which likely refers to tools with a high degree of uncertainty or imprecision. AI
