In a way, this comment perfectly encapsulates why the argument "machines will never replicate human behavior" is so ridiculous. Instead of engaging with the discussion and topic, you chose a position, and then tried to justify it without really thinking about why one example works and the other one doesn't. In doing so you're literally showing that for certain topics, machines are already more capable than some humans.

I didn't say "machines will never replicate human behavior" so I don't think you're engaging with what I said.

Sure, you didn't say that. You merely said:

> And it's exactly the one thing LLMs are trained to do: reproduce patterns of words. They are (perhaps) already better than humans at that one specific skill (another win for AI research) but I don't think it's a sign of general intelligence.

while completely missing why the machine did a better job.
