    Why would I call the car automatic if it has an automatic transmission? Your analogy makes zero sense. Your username definitely does not check out either.Maybe stop being a salty snowflake after being called out for not having a clue of what you’re talking about.

      Because you speak English…

      Have a nice life tho, anyone that unironically used “snowflake” and gets that defensive of being wrong is worth blocking.

        You make even less sense now. lol

        I suppose you’re suggesting that I block you now, since you got so defensive of being wrong. But if I was that type of guy I would’ve already blocked you for being a literal hamas / terrorist apologist / sympathizer.

      It’s just short for automatic transmission, opposed to manual transmission. I think Americans call manual cars sticks though. But they’re not sticks, because sticks are wood and cars are almost always metal. Not metal like the music though.

      Edit - thinking on it you could play metal through the car stereo though.

        I know the difference between an automatic & manual car & transmission. The analogy just doesn’t make sense, because when you say “automatic / manual car” you’re still referring to something within the car, the transmission system - you’re not actually calling the car to be “automated” or whatever. Calling LLMs “AI” however is nothing but a misnomer and that analogy simply does not compare at all.
