That’s because ChatGPT and the likes use machine learning to calculate odds of word combinations that make up a plausible sentence in a given context. There are scientific studies that postulate we’ll never have enough data to train those models properly, not to mention exponential energy consumption required. But this is not the only application of this technology.

It can do statistics and probability incredibly well. Chatbots are gross waste of that capability but it’s proving to be quite capable in areas where lots of brute force computation was required before (like in biotech).
