This Is Not An Essay

Everything Is A Wave

I have been saying for a while that LLM's are performing a mentalism act and your back and forth has convinced me even more.
Even it's description of how it created some it's faked responses feels akin to a stage magicians mentalism techniques and even replies with the word 'magic' when you ask how something was done.
The big difference is a magician is a honest liar. You know you are being lied to from the offset whereas LLM's it is much more murky.
