- We are getting a lot of GenAI-related tags: llm, gpt, gpt-3 and so on.
- None which have anything to do with programming, nor are they programming tools. These tags are IMO about the end goal of an application, so they are about as on-topic as ponies, if someone happens to be writing a pony-feeding application.
- If any of these had a programmer API then that would be different, but a generic term like "large language model" does not have an API.
What to do with all these tags?

- We also have "company tags" - there is consensus that they shouldn't be used ([Getting rid of "company tags" early on](https://software.codidact.com/posts/277911)). So tags like "open-ai" should probably be renamed "open-ai-api".

What to do with GenAI tags?
We are getting a lot of GenAI-related tags: llm, gpt, gpt-3 and so on. None which have anything to do with programming, nor are they programming tools. These tags are IMO about the end goal of an application, so they are about as on-topic as ponies, if someone happens to be writing a pony-feeding application. If any of these had a programmer API then that would be different, but a generic term like "large language model" does not have an API. What to do with all these tags?
