It’s really good at making us feel like it’s intelligent, but that’s no more real than a good VR headset convincing us to walk into a physical wall. It’s a meta version of VR. (Meta meta, if you will.)

But it’s not simulated intelligence. It’s literally just word association on steroids. There are no thoughts it brings to the table, just words that mathematically fit following the prompts.

It’s not just statistics. To produce a somewhat coherent sentence in English you need a model of the English language AND a world model.

If you ask a question like “an apple is on a glass, what happens if I remove the glass”, the correct answer (“the apple will fall”) is not a statistical property of the English language, but an emergent property of the world model.
