Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Plural of LLM — Large Language Model. The post-2022 catch-all term for transformer-based generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama. In casual tech-Twitter / Bluesky discourse "the LLMs" often stands in for "the AI labs as a whole", or for the AI hype cycle itself. Sometimes used dismissively ("just LLMs being LLMs") about hallucinations or low-quality output.
Someone who has fully swallowed the AI hype and now sees large language models as the solution to every problem — personal, professional, existential. LLM-pilled people automate their grocery lists, therapy journaling, and first dates. They cite token counts in casual conversation and get mildly offended when you say you still Google things. It's not quite a cult, but they will absolutely send you a custom GPT you didn't ask for.
The narrative phase where someone — or an entire company, or society — goes all-in on large language models and their whole identity shifts around it. Your llm arc might start with a curious ChatGPT prompt and end with you building agents at 2am and explaining embeddings at dinner parties. Coined with the same energy as character arc, it tracks the transformation that happens when AI becomes your whole personality for a stretch.
Rather, it's building an intuition.<br>I find it funny when people ask me if it's true that they can build an app using an LLM without knowing how to code.
"Their ‘AI' is just an LLM call wrapped in a UI. That's not an agent."
