The vast majority of them use deep learning, i.e. ConvNets trained with backprop. It's not LLMs but it is AI.

Deep Learning Without LLMs: Neural Net Backpropagation Focus
By
–
It's all based on neural net / deep learning trained with backprop.
But none of it uses LLMs, GPT, or other token-based generative architectures. -
MRI Technology Advancement Reduces Time and Cost
By
–
I wasn't advocating the indiscriminate use of full-body MRIs, but the fact that the technology that makes this possible reduces the time and cost of an MRI exam is intrinsically a Good Thing.

LLMs vs Vision Systems: Neural Nets and Architecture Differences
By
–
Absolutely nothing. They both use neural nets and backprop. But LLMs are generative architectures trained on sequences of discrete symbols. Vision systems used in AEBS and other applications use ConvNets or ViTs trained to detect and classify from labelled samples.

Exponential Growth is Actually Sigmoid Curves in Disguise
By
–
People criticize me because they fail to see that every real-world process that looks like an exponential is really the initial segment of a sigmoid. Even processes that remain exponential for a while are actually a succession of small sigmoids, each corresponding to a major

Joint Embedding Architectures Outperform Generative Models for Sensor Data
By
–
What proves that the generative approach is wrong is oodles of empirical results showing the superiority of joint embedding architectures over generative ones (based on reconstruction) for natural sensor data (e.g. images and video). It's not just for self-supervised learning

Total control of rendering, movement and atmosphere by AI

Ce n’est plus juste de l’IA.
— Jouhatsu | AI Influence Operator (@Jouhatsu_ai) 24 avril 2026
C’est du contrôle total sur le rendu, le mouvement, l’ambiance.
GPT Image 2.0 x Seedance 2.0 sur Higgsfield = un autre niveau. https://t.co/jFcNPrvCvV pic.twitter.com/JSLv38yYknThis is no longer just AI. It's total control over rendering, movement, atmosphere. GPT Image 2.0 x Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield = another level.
