AI is still a token matching engine - it has ZERO understanding of what those tokens mean

It's doing a damned good job at putting tokens together, but to put it into context that a lot of people will likely understand - it's still a correlation tool, not a causation.

That's why I like it for "search" it's brilliant for finding sets of tokens that belong with the tokens I have provided it.

PS. I use the term token here not as the currency by which a payment is determined, but the tokenisation of the words, letters, paragraphs, novels being provided to and by the LLMs
