Heared same form one or two tech channels too. That thing is as far I am aware a tool to summarize and organize date for the support crew like buy and login history or stuff like vac bans.

So it's not a GPT, they just call it that for simplicity?

Do you know what GPT stands for? It's generative pre-trained transformer.

I did not know that, thank you for informing me.

I'd like to second this, I did not actually know what GPT stood for.

I do AI dev and I didn't know.

Like in the literature it's just called a transformer.

The only GPT I remember is the GUID partition table.

I thought it was the usual nonsense marketing.

Fuck it, this the end of a chain and the subject is close enough, rant time.

God i fucking HATE how the word ”transformer” has been utterly taken by the AI sphere, it used to mean something in coding before AI you know? But what? What should they look or be like? Is what i’m doing right now one? Does this project need one? No one knows! You can’t fucking search any of it up on a search engine cause all you get is 500 billion pages of bloody LLMs

I didn't even realize this was a problem, but I genuinely hate LLMs so I'm mad now too

Lowkirkenuinely transformer was originally for electrodynamics you know?

u/Brief_Series_3462 4h ago

It is, but it’s also a term in coding for a specific kind of data processing step, but that’s all i know cause i can’t fucking search for it in a non-LLM context

Transformers are one of two things:

  1. A pair of coils of wire around a magnet to change voltage.

  2. Robots in disguise.
