So you saw the parent comment about hype and clicked into this comment box without a thought of what you might say other than "When?" Really?
Did you know whether you agreed or disagreed with the parent comment, or did it take until the word "reductive" for you to firm that up?
If you're saying that the part of your brain that controls your fingers is doing so one word at a time, then sure, obviously that's true. But if you're making the opposite claim, that LLMs like Chat-GPT are "deciding" what to say and only then working out the finer details of how to express that decision, that's a claim I'd like to see explicitly.
If you are suggesting that your approach to intelligence is parallel to that of an LLM, then either you're arguing for something far more radical than most as an emergent property of LLMs, or you're suggesting that you only form opinions one word at a time as you type, which I think would make you, well, I won't insult you, but I think you're probably doing a little more than that.
