Big Autocomplete isn't "AI". This is not new technology, this is "We used buzzwords to hype up 20 year old EEG interpreters, please give us money"

    Calling llm "big auto-complete" is like calling people "big bacteria" . It's true that they act on the same goal, guess the next word for llm and auto-complete; survive and reproduce for people and bacteria, but they are vastly different in scale and complexity.

    Also what would AI be to you if not an llm? Cause I'd say anything that has an SAT score higher than most Americans has some form of intelligence.
