alt Hacker NewsFrankly, I don't think you understand what "statistically generating tokens" actually means. Write that definition out formally. Then compare that operation to what a human does, assuming no revisions. It is the same, and that is my point. If you believe that humans understand, then "statistically generating tokens" cannot be disjoint from understanding.
It is not the same.
You have observed nothing more than that a human can turn a shaft the same as an electric motor, and that an mp3 player can say "hello" the same as a human.
