I wrote a book in which I consistently used the acronym GAI to refer to generative artificial intelligence. But I’ve been struck that I’m literally the only person using this, leading me to revert to GenAI which I’m uncomfortable with because it feels horribly buzzy. But I have a pedantic objection to talking about LLMs because I don’t think we are actually interacting with an LLM when we use a system like ChatGPT, which is a whole assembly of components built on an LLM. But equally conversational agents, which I like analytically, carries a lot of conceptual baggage for use in policy and practice contexts. 🤔
