A "machine spewing words based on probability" is an implementation detail. I'm not making a grandiose prediction about the future. All I'm saying is that these machines are improving super fast.

I'm also stricken by the superficiality of analysis like "oh it's just probabilities" from so many devs; might as well say "it's magnets".

In my comment I was questioning the certainty that those fundamental flaws will be fixed. I'm one of those people who don't believe that iterating over LLM will make that giant leap.

You can call it an implementation detail but it's like both a wheel and a wing can take your over some distance but the difference between them is staggering. Wheel will never send you flying (normally)
