What Happened

The rise of AI has brought an avalanche of new terms and slang. Here is a glossary with definitions of some of the most important words and phrases you might encounter.

Our Take

Look, AI glossaries are baseline. Everyone reading tech news already knows what hallucinations are. This reads like SEO bait for people discovering AI for the first time. Real value would be comparing hallucination rates *across models* or showing concrete improvements from prompt engineering. Instead we get dictionary definitions.

It's not wrong, just pointless. Only skim if you're onboarding someone non-technical.

What To Do

Read this only if you're explaining AI basics to a non-technical audience; otherwise use actual benchmark data.
