Absolutely agree. It’s merely spitting out the most statistically appropriate words based on probabilities and not because of any underlying “intelligence”.
It’s pretty much the reason I hate calling it AI, because it’s a veil of deception. It presents as a reasoning, rational (most of the time) thinking system purely because it’s very good at sounding like one.
