This makes me think about the old saying that went something like "any advanced enough novel technology is indistinguishable from magic".
So many people see the output of an LLM and think it's super intelligent, almost magical.
But the reality is that every time these things APPEAR to be intelligent, it really is just a magic trick. They aren't ACTUALLY intelligent at all.

@finner@appdot.net Exactly right - this human tendency to imbue things, animals etc. with intelligence is such a well-studied field that it's embarrassing how we keep falling for it.
