> I feel like that what a lot of people who say this don't seem to grasp, is that despite this flaw its still often capable of saying more interesting things than a lot of humans.
So does the Google search bar, but I don't ascribe intelligence to it.
The google search bar is surprisingly smart sometimes. What's your definition of intelligence that completely excludes most of what a computer does?
I mean I'm quite proud of some of my search queries in the same way I'm quite proud of some of the LLM output I get. I'm probably just very arrogant and enjoying myself via some LLM indirection.
Am I the only one that sometimes reads back particularly good emails they've written? I feel like its a similar thing :).
The Google search bar is not capable of generating original text though. LLMs definitely are - you can get pretty creative output easily.
