We had an internal-workshop led by our internal AI-team (mostly just LLMs), and had the horrible realisation that no one in that team actually knows what the term “AI” even means, or how a language model works.
One senior-dev (team-lead also) tried to explain to me that AI is a subfield of machine-learning, and always stochastic in nature (since ChatGPT responds differently to the same prompt).
We/they are selling tailor-made “AI-products” to other businesses, but apparently we don’t know how sampling works…? Also, no one could tell me where exactly our “self-hosted” models even ran (turns out 50% of the time its just OpenAI/Anthropic), or what OCR-model our product was using.
Am I just too junior/naive to get this or am I cooked?
