Good point. While it seems obvious to me that LLMs can never be anything more than fancy Markov chains, in my experience it seems the majority of human "logic" does not operate much differently. Very rare to encounter someone who is able to think or speak critically. Most regurgitate canned responses based on keywords.

I don't just mean the dumb ones. Einstein was just as much a markov chain as GPT-2 is. The term is utterly useless in this context.
