The amount of get-off-my-lawn grognardness that LLM activity inspires is really ridiculous.
I really would ask you to take a second look at the spirit of your comment and think carefully about how much you really understand about the work being done on top of LLMs and if it justifies this kind of response.
I had the same reaction as the OP. I’m not a data scientist by trade or title, but I would personally be a little offended. If you designed the Porsche 911, would you not be offended by the shade tree mechanic who simply knows how to change the oil calling himself a Porsche designer/engineer?
There are people making applications based on LLMs. You may quibble with the term LLM Developer, but to sneer or roll your eyes at it as if it were prima facie inaccurate or laughable is unjustified.
