> Lobotomisation has a specific meaning in LLM parlance

That's what I'm objecting to! If I'd said "I hate it when we call AI potatoes", the correct reaction is "nobody does that?" not "I see what you mean".

I'm objecting because it presents a picture that does not appear to be accurate.

Is broadcast TV "lobotomised" before the watershed? Are PG-rated films? Public comments from corporations and politicians? Are you lobotomising me when you downvote my comments, forcing me to choose between getting noticed and speaking my mind?

No.

Not only "no", but it would be ridiculous to claim any of these things was a lobotomy.

> But "training" is not it.

It's literally training.
