Conflation

💼Looking for work💼 I'm currently open to new opportunities in hands-on architecture, management, and/or innovation work with LLMs. Please contact me on my LinkedIn if interested.

Conflation happens when two or more people use the same words for different concepts without acknowledging this difference, leading to confusion and often frustration.

Types of conflation include:

• SemanticConflation: when two different meanings for words are spoken about as if they were the same.
• Pragmatic Conflation: when two different contexts or purposes for an argument are spoken about as if they were the same.
• Ontological Conflation: when two different entities or categories are spoken about as if they were the same.
