| Calling this "The complete history of AI" seems wrong.
LLM's are not all AI there is, and it has existed for way longer than people realize. |

| Fair point — updated the tagline to 'The complete history of LLMs'. AI as a field goes back decades; this is specifically tracking the transformer/LLM era from 2017 onward |

| Most of "AI" before ChatGPT was just researchers wasting public grant money, eg BLOOM. |

This was called AI at the time, and mostly went out the window when general-pupose pretrained models arrived. | | |
