As a response to your prompt, the LLM gives you the words that are statistically most likely in the order that is statistically most likely, given its training texts. That's all it does. It's artificial but not intelligent.
You're reading a mind into the LLM output just the same way as you think about your robot vacuum cleaner as a house pet.

@mrundkvist@archaeo.social Wait, are you saying LLM-based AI, or SI as it's now being rebranded, is actually SLOW (Statistical Likelihood of Words)?
