Indeed. To be honest, I think everyone on HN is aware of how LLMs work at this point, it’s not actually adding a great deal to the discussion to keep going on about autocomplete or ‘stochastic parrots’.
At this point if someone calls it auto complete they can be written off as a Luddite with nothing valuable to say. The irony being they themselves are being a stochastic parrot by parroting the jargon other people say about llms.
