The post is about the actual product they’re selling, not whatever idealized idea of what a ‘proper’ LLM is.

Yes, that is what the post is about.

You didn't click on reply to the post, you clicked reply under my comment.

In my comment, I was talking about an LLM (I checked with myself) and the other person was also talking about LLMs and on up to the top of the comment chain where we started talking about LLMs in IT systems.

From the context of the conversation, you should understand that we're talking about LLMs, specifically being in IT having to deal with LLMs. The context should tell you that we're talking about the actual language models and not the end user applications, like a chatbot.

If they aren’t selling non-chatbot LLMs then that’s irrelevant.

Ok, well this is easy then. Every LLM isn't sold as a chatbot so I'm not sure why you keep repeating this like it is a point.

If every LLM sold is sold as a chatbot, then this “ummm ackchully” is irrelevant.

Your first comment was 'ummmm ackchully LLMs are only chatbots' which is both wrong and ironic.
