Large Language Models generate human-like text. They operate on words broken up as tokens and predict the next one in a sequence. Image Diffusion models take a static image of noise and iteratively denoise it into a stable image.

The confusion comes from services like OpenAI that take your prompt, dress it up all fancy, and then feed it to a diffusion model.
