    It’s not an abstraction of search, though. It’s a conditional regurgitation of the entire Internet with randomization. That is significantly and meaningfully different.

    It’s not finding text or context matches and reproducing them, it’s guessing the next word based off of the steaming pile of horse shit people have dumped over the Internet in attempts to garner attention or scam others.
