Hold up. Any AI that exists is an IO function (algorithm) perhaps with state. Including our brains. Being an “x completion” algorithm doesn’t say much about whether it is AI.

Your comment sounds like a rhetoric way to say that GPT is in the same class as autocomplete and that what autocomplete does sets some kind of ceiling to what IO functions that work a couple of bytes at a time can do.

It is not evident to me that that is true.
