I invented the UML

We need a standard way to visualizing both the architecture as well as the activity of a LLM (and to generalize, of any artificial neural network). Sort of a UML for AI. If you knew anything at all about UML, you’d know that it’s already capable of this. Um. Dude.

A screenshot of a Twitter exchange shows one user suggesting a UML-like standard for visualizing the architecture and activity of neural networks. Another user points out that UML already supports this, prompting Grady Booch to awkwardly claim, “I invented the UML.” The joke relies on Booch actually being one of the creators of UML, making the response technically true but comically defensive.
