I could see myself having conversations with an LLM, but I wouldn't want it to pretend it's anything other than a program assembling words together.

The way it clicks for me is that it's a juiced up auto-complete tool.

If llms are juiced up auto complete then humans are juiced up bacteria. Yeah they both have the same end goal, guess the next word, survive and reproduce , but the methods they use to accomplish them are vastly more complex.

Well that explains why that user thinks it completes them.
