So does the Google search bar, but I don't ascribe intelligence to it.

The Google search bar is not capable of generating original text though. LLMs definitely are - you can get pretty creative output easily.

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 :).
