  > Why attribute to normal/boring/commodity tools that which can be attributed to "LLMS" and "AI" and "CHATGPT"? Because they're really good at this, and even idiots can use them. What I want to know is why people capitalise things that aren't acronyms or initialisms, e.g. "MAC"[0], "SWIFT"[1], the "S" in "LLMS", and the "HAT" in "CHATGPT" :P [0] The brand which is a contraction of Macintosh, not to be confused with Medium Access Control or several other things. [1] As in the language, not the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication.
