do you ever get tired of pointing out that a large language model is a language model?
UPD I do that as well when explaining to my relatives why I don't care what ChatGPT thinks about $X, but also they're not on HN

Worry not, pointing out improper use of language that benefits the biggest corporations on Earth that are destroying the planet is kind of hobby of mine.
stylistic preferences are pretty much the ONLY thing you could discuss (in the context of LLMs) that actually has anything to do with (natural) language in the first place; how is having preferences an "improper use of langauge"?
I'm not sure I follow. My point is that pretty much everybody who doesn't have a degree in CS or IT assumes due to BigAI corporations that LLMs or GenAI tools think. This is reflected by the words they use. Such people do not say "the model parse my query and process it via it neural network based architecture to give a statistically plausible answer given the context" but rather they say "I had a chat with Claude and he said something useful" thus implying agency and a lot more.
