The erroneous assumption that my phone's autocomplete is actually a person who understands me well enough to finish my sentences works fine, but the instant I turn to it for understanding, it will fail very badly. Autocomplete's predictions are always grounded in who you *used to be*, which means autocomplete knows very little about who you are now, and absolutely nothing about who you will become:

It's the self-serving rationale that leads you to declare yourself a proud stochastic parrot: https://xcancel.com/sama/status/1599471830255177728 14/
