I don't think anyone is using "autocomplete" in the way your phone does it. But it is shorthand for a much more sophisticated version that is built in similar ideas. And autoregressive models certainly have that in their core structure. But people are lazy and neither want to say a lot when few words work nor will they read long comments, even if more accurate I want to clarify, most people are using "autocomplete" specifically to differentiate from how we humans operate. Sure, there is an autocomplete aspect, but it's not the core nor anywhere near the full story.

> Sure, there is an autocomplete aspect, but it's not the core nor anywhere near the full story. This can apply equally to LLMs or humans. So what is the utility of the word if it just describes the whole range of things we are talking about?

  Because the second part of my comment. If you over simplify everything then everything is the same. You have to have nuance. So don't just argue for the sake of arguing. Take that same passion to deeply understand these systems. Take that same passion to try to understand yourself and those around you
