Why I'm having trouble covering AI

@caseynewton "Good" coverage of what folks keep calling "AI" these days for me would be highlighting the fact that they are essentially a very advanced form of autocomplete and avoiding the folks who think these LLMs have anything in common with the personified, sapient presentations of artificial intelligence that appear in fictional literature and movies.
