Tell HN: Current gen AI is just the epitome of error-correcting codes
ECC have information theoretic bases as ways to revert message errors. The ultimate ECC is one that understands context and meaning, and can correct your haphazard keystrokery to linguistic correctness. It appears that this-gen AI are simply "asymptotically optimal" general ECC decoders.
