Generative AI needs better context - you can't talk about Large Language Models without reverse neural networks and backpropagation

The hype over Large Language Models (LLMs) has reached a fever pitch. But how much of the hype is justified? We can't answer that without some straight talk - and some definitions. Time for a ...
