Merriam-Website Pokes Fun at AI in social media posts

Merriam-Webster. “LLM”. YouTube, 24 September 2025. https://youtu.be/RvQnl3O0D3c?si=-JL8gTWhkWLbEsGU

Merriam-Webster dictionary posted a video making fun of AI large language models across multiple social media platforms. In the video, Merriam-Webster describes and hypes up a brand new LLM. Stating that it “uses no power” and “never hallucinates”, the video eventually reveals that the LLM it advertises is, of course, a physical dictionary.

The response to AI across multiple industries has varied, but it’s interesting to see such a well established company take such a clear stance about AI and make fun of it to this extent.
