  I was just pointing out that your emotional plea, that this technology is just autocorrect is not an argument in any way.

  For it to be one you need to explicitly state the implication of that fact. Yes architecturaly it is autocomplete but that does not obviously imply anything. What is it about autocomplete that barrs a system of the ability to understand?

  Humans are made of meat but that does not imply they can’t speak or think.

    If I said ‘this is just a spoon’ you’d know what I meant. This is not an emotional appeal.

    Autocorrect is not understanding, and if you don’t understand that, you have zero understanding of either tech or philosophy. This topic is about both, so you really shouldn’t be making assertions. Stick to genuine questions.
