I feel stupid. Could someone please explain?
Concepts such as autocomplete, autocomplete on steroids (LLMs), and basic statistical methods (all of the most common characters first, so all of the letter E for a good long while) fall laughably short of actual human conversation.
I failed to understand the connection to LLMs. Thanks!
It doesn't have anything to do with LLMs. Not everything is "AI bad!".
How would you transmit information without communicating it? In some ways avoiding communication is a form of communication, along with the way you dress, your body language and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Okay, thanks. This is where my brain was trying to go with this, but my stupid got in the way.
