@josemurilo A statistical inference engine cannot be doing anything else than copying.

The model is essentially a ”compression”, capable of more or less reproducing it’s inputs. That’s the whole point.

Calling this process of compression/optimisation ”thinking” is the greatest scam ever pulled in IT technology!
