The article never mentioned LLMs. LLMs only make up a small part of all AI tools. The AI in this sense is referring to machine learning models used to help digitally unroll the scroll and then another machine learning model that’s used to detect the letters.

Looks like an interesting article, but this feels more like “News” material, rather than “Technology” material.

As far as where theyve chosen to post instead (from the article):

Starting July 6, City of Waterloo announcements will be communicated on municipal websites and other social media already used by city hall such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Vimeo.

City hall will maintain an X account but only to direct people elsewhere, Abbott said.

[…]

The city does not plan at this time to communicate on alternate platforms that have been established as alternatives to X.

AI is the larger umbrella term. LLMs, Machine Learning, CNNs, DNNs, RNNs, etc. all fall under that umbrella “AI” term.
