    Yep, a great summary.

    I keep telling people that what they call AI (e.g. LLMs) are fancy autocomplete. Little more.

      They’re sentence-constructing machines. Very advanced ones. There was one in the 80s called Racter that spat out a lot of legible text that was basically babble. Now it looks like it isn’t babble and that’s sometimes the case.
