My impression is that these models are already doing far more than what the language production machinery in our brain does. We are able to produce language according to grammar and semantics, but we also have independent mental representat

> there are no big cats native to France I didn't mean a big feline. I meant literally a big cat. Something with a head that looks remarkably more similar to that of a domestic cat rather than a dog's.

The really funny thing would have been to send a single, incendiary but not obviously fake message from the account of someone whose tweets often cross the line of acceptability. I am thinking of Trump or Elon Musk. For example, a tweet b
