@jonny I think that it's a brilliant tool. (And my colleagues do not like me to say this.)

But what does your programmer think LLMs do?

I offered a different conceptualisation to my colleagues by giving them Markov chains to play with, but they seemed to think even random prose generators were still creative, thinking agents, albeit of a less intelligent form.

I've been finding also that hardly anyone who complains about AI knows what a huge class of things it is. Language is troubling.
