So you work on inference engines, and don't see at all what'd be hilariously disingenuous and reductive about describing how LLMs operate as "just parroting the most statistically likely next token"? It is literally what they do, yes. And only literally, with the big asterisk of "non-colloquial meaning" after the word "statistically". Like how "significant" means something pretty different, albeit related, in academic writing vs everyday speech.

You're further magically blind to this operational fact being weaponized as a trope for furthering anti-ai sentiment (i.e. that it's a political dogwhistle at this point), and to thus you participating in that every time you repeat it?
