Posting this as a form of crowd-sourcing for an essay I’m working on —
What are the main “metaphors” you see deployed around LLMs and AI?
Here’s my list so far: intelligence, learning, training, thinking, reasoning, chat, agent, assistant, model, generative, skill, context, vision, memory, personality, constitution, engineering, prompt, alignment, collaboration, knowledge
(Note that “metaphor” doesn’t — necessarily — mean it’s wrong.)
