> I’m just trying to “prove” that it isn’t just randomly statistically choosing the next logical word. It has to know context and have some level of “understanding” of other contexts.

FCOL, you can't use "complex output" as proof that the process has any intelligence directing it.

If you could, we would take the Intelligent Design argument seriously. We don't. We never did. We need a good clear argument to convince us now why it is a good idea to accept Intelligent Design as an argument.




It's not just complex output, it's output that's relevant to the prompt including considerable nuance. If that's not bordering on intelligence, then you shouldn't consider humans intelligent either.

You can say the same thing about Intelligent Design, and yet we dismiss it anyway.


We didn't dismiss intelligent design, we replaced it with a more parsimonious theory that better explained the evidence. Big difference.
