All marketing aside, aren't LLMs just a fancy auto-complete?

When we improve LLMs, won't they just be a fancier auto-complete?

They're not a "new life form with godlike abilities".

They sure are fooling a lot of people though.

Not necessarily, and if so, only if your first postulate is true. Which is really difficult to say because "fancy auto-complete" is too vague to argue. Human speech can also be described as fancy auto-complete.

Luckily we don't have to argue that because I specifically am saying it doesn't have to be LLMs. You've missed the point entirely.
