I wish more people would understand this.
That's why I really dislike the take that it's "just fancy autocomplete". In order to have a *really* good autocomplete, you'd have to in one way or another internalize much of the world's knowledge. So, "just fancy autocomplete" is really not the witty criticism some think it is.

@maltimore@social.tchncs.de The reason we call it spicy autocomplete is because it is just a prediction model on the stuff it's ingested. What you seem to miss is that we already had all this, with Google. All LLMs have done is make it feel like something is answering, instead of being honest and returning results that match a search query. @ngaylinn@tech.lgbt @anizocani@tech.lgbt @DrewKadel@social.coop
