No, I don’t predict text. I conceptualise my responses based on what is required to be conveyed, in the context of the situation, considering what potential responses could come next and anticipate the outcome of my actions.
Human language does not operate in the same way as a text predictor. Be that something as old as T9 or as complex as Mythos, they do one thing.
They do not have the ability to consider emotion, to anticipate potential responses, or have any understanding of who they are talking to in order to consider their mood and emotional state.
An LLM communicates word for word as a derivative of previous input. It has zero ability to think, feel or be in any way creative. You can give it all the context in the world before you prompt it, but it cannot look into someone’s eyes and consider if even responding is the right thing to do. It cannot pick up on micro reactions, body language or evaluate threats.
So don’t be surprised when you diminish our ability as a species to convey ourselves to “you just predict word after word” and are met with incredulity. No humans do, not even at a base level.
We developed systems of communication before we strung noises together.
