Usually when I see this it's using other machine learning approaches than LLM, and the researchers behind it are usually very careful not to use the term AI, as they are fully aware that this is not what they are doing.

There's huge potential in machine learning, but LLMs are very little more than bullshit generators, and generative AI is theft producing soulless garbage. LLMs are widely employed because they look impressive, but for anything that requires substance machine learning methods that have been around for years tend to perform better.

If you can identify cancer in x-rays using machine learning that's awesome, but that's very seperate from the AI hype machine that is currently running wild.
