And digital audio will never match analog. Can anybody tell the difference anymore?

If a machine produces highly similar output does it matter? LLM's clearly exhibit behavior of having implicitly learned systems, which is the valuable part of intelligence. Humans infer systems through text too, by the way.

We're not at the point where people can't tell the difference though.

A human will often say "I don't know". The machine will outright lie using it's best probabilistic guess.
