I assume that's a Gemini LLM response? You can tell Gemini is bullshitting when it starts using "often" or "usually" - like in this case "TPUs often come with large amounts of memory". Either they did or they didn't. "This (particular) mall often has a Starbucks" was one I encountered recently.

It's not bullshit (i.e., intended) but probabilities all the way down, as Hume reminded us: from observations, you can only say the sun will likely rise in the east. You'd need to stand behind a theory of the world to say otherwise (but we were told "attention is all you need"...)
