It seems like AIs work how non-programmers already thought computers worked.

That's apt.

One of the first thing you learn in CS 101 is "computers are impeccable at math and logic but have zero common sense, and can easily understand megabytes of code but not two sentences of instructions in plain English."

LLMs break that old fundamental assumption. How people can claim that it's not a ground-shattering breakthrough is beyond me.

Then build a LLM shell and make it your login shell. And you’ll see how well the computer understands english.

"Why didn't you do that earlier?"
