large language model

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

A large language model is (AKA LLM) usually a reference to a service, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, that synthesizes text based on a massive set of prose typically crawled and indexed from the open web and other sources and should not be used to contribute content to the IndieWeb wiki; several IndieWeb sites disclaim any use thereof for their content.

Criticism: used to waste developer time with fake security bounty bug reports: (from the maintainer of curl) 2024-01-02 The I in LLM stands for intelligence
Like for the email spammers, the cost of this ends up in the receiving end. The ease of use and wide access to powerful LLMs is just too tempting. I strongly suspect we will get more

So don't even think about using ChatGPT to contribute material to the wiki, because you don't have the ability to know you can contribute it to the public domain / CC0.

Google quietly changed policies to scrape public Google Doc data to train AI.

Then purposely released new terms of service on "Fourth of July weekend, when people were typically focused on the holiday"
