@mattI think it's only controversial among those who have invested in it -- either their savings, or their identities. It *is* fancy autocomplete. There's something pretty cool about how just being able to navigate the structure of language creates a construct that a) seems intelligent to most people most of the time, and b) is actually useful for things in many contexts, at least in principle.It being a fancy autocomplete shouldn't be any more of an issue to fans than cars being fancy wagons.But I guess fancy wagons and fancy autocomplete aren't *magic*, and cannot be classified as *intelligent*, and that hurts someone's feellings or capital gains or something.If only one of the things the fancy autocomplete was was *reliable*.
