this is the way.

its internal mechanism is still statistical prediction of text in units of tokens. that math seemed lucid enough to be able to use functions.

It’s like everyone suddenly forgot you can’t do O(n^2) compute in O(n) time.
Binary addition is O(n)
I meant this in the general case, not specifically binary addition. Also, returning an token by ChatGPT is technically an O(1) operation, so the same principle applies. Returning a computation answer of O(n_required_tokens) cannot be delivered in O(1) time without some sort of caching.
