This one is such a big “open” secret in tech. There is no intelligence; it’s all artificial. It really is just a big text prediction algorithm.

To elaborate on your thing, the current models do a little bit better. They are able to algorithmically look a few words ahead and a few words behind to glean some context but that’s it. So if you misspell a ward or create a word like “Sally shkloinged Tom in the head with a frying pan,” it can programmatically deduce what ‘shkloinged’ meant in regards to creating coherent context around it.

People confuse the fact that it can do language under the confines of context given to it as “intelligence” but it really has none. We are years away from internal tool calls that can actually work at all, or even some of the time. AI can’t even fucking do something like keeping track of time passed. Ask Chat GPT to keep track of the time while you run and then immediately say you finished. It’ll just make up a number because algorithmically it goes through the sentence and can programmatically deduce a number should be there in the time format so it inserts one.
