>>> We also just brute force "autocompletion"
Wouldn't be an A.I. discussion without a bizarre, untrue claim that the human brain works identically.
Similar, not identical. Like a bicycle and car are both vehicles with tires, but are still not identical vessels.
There are no true and untrue claims about how the brain works, because we have no idea how it works.
The reason people give that humans are not auto-complete is "Obviously I am not an autocomplete"
Meanwhile, people are just a black box process that output words into their head, which they then take credit for, and calling it cognition. We have no idea how that black box that serves up a word when I say "Think of a car brand" works.
