I can see the underlying architecture, deep learning transformers, being useful in quite a lot of fields, including medical research, and that's what it sounds like you're taking about. LLMs, though, large language models, don't seem to have much real use. I even doubt they'd be of much use to linguists studying a language since all of its data gets stored in incomprehensible and mostly inaccessible ways.

I was indeed talking about LMs, without the "Language", just "Large Models". The extra L accidentally slipped in bc of habit Edit: Most people aren't aware or know to distinguish between LLMs and LMs either, so that's why I assumed that's what Ian was talking about too
