In 2000, AI could barely pluralize nouns. Now it can write pages of comprehensible text.

Computers could quite easily search through text and paste together something resembling text in 2000.
Now you've made a much bigger DB and swindled together a better stitching algorithm which captures some of the nuances past bigrams and trigrams - it does not mean anything at all.
You've highlighted a pretty good example actually: the text makes the 'appearance' of something, when really there isn't much in the way of magic there.
