    LLM is fine to say, not more awkward than element. And it is AI.

    And I wish we’d call phones computers. It’s been very profitable for corps for people to not realize that they are.

      My head already has:

      • LVM - Logical Volume Management
      • LLVM - Low Level Virtual Machine

      LLM keeps keep corrupted in my mouth by those two.

      It’s more awkward to say because it’s “ell-ell-emm” not “el-em-ent”. It’s like that middle part of the alphabet that kids always fuck up “ell emm enn” and it’s practically a tongue twister. It’s a very unusual mouth movement for English speakers. Which is why many people started calling them “llamas” because the longer word is actually easier to say.
