More like "gun kills person"...

"Passenger struck by vehicle" is in the passive voice, which makes it very different. I imagine you agree "vehicle strikes passenger" would sound very strange, would it not?



I think "gun kills person" sounds strange, but "vehicle hits person" does not. I've seen countless articles with a headline of that nature. http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/metro-north-service...

Chalk it up to English being weird, I guess.


Fair enough and thanks for the example!

Not to move goalposts too much, but I still think the LLM scenario is a bit different precisely because it is not necessarily implied that LLM are tools given they are closely related to the concept of "intelligence"
