I’m not talking about the specifics of the architecture.

To the layman, AI refers to a range of general purpose language models that are trained on “public” data and possibly enriched with domain-specific datasets.

There’s a significant material difference between using probabilistic language completion and a model that directly predicts the results of complex processes (like what’s likely being discussed in the article).

It’s not specific to the article in question, but it is really important for people to not conflate these approaches.
