It’s time to retire the ‘stochastic parrot’ definition of AI. Early generative AI models, circa 2017-2022, were “stochastic parrots.” That is, they generated language by choosing the statistically most likely next word based on patterns in their training data, rather than truly understanding what they were saying.

You want to wear your jeans to the office, but ordinary denim doesn’t provide enough warmth on freezing day. The available solutions aren’t great. You could wear thermal leggings under your jeans, but you’ll start sweating the minute you leave the sidewalk to enter your heated building. Fleece-lined jeans are often stiff and bulky.
