LLM is the technology, Chatbot is an implementation of it. So yes a Chatbot as it's talked about here is an LLM. Although obviously chatbots don't have to be LLM, those that are not are irrelevant.
No, a chat bot as it's talked about here is not an LLM. This article is discussing limitations of LLM training data and inferring that chat bots can not scale as a result. There are many techniques that can be used to continue to improve chat bots.
The chatbot is a front end to an LLM, you are being needlessly pedantic. What the chatbot serves you, is the result of LLM queries.
That may have been true for the early LLM chatbots but not anymore. ChatGPT for instance, now writes code to answer logical questions. The o1 models have background token usage because each response is actually the result of multiple background LLM responses.
