It's a bit like trying to finish a sentence when you're really stoned... you vaguely remember the preceding couple of words you've said but don't really know how you got there and now you're wandering in the forest trying to stumble on coherency.

Well, I suppose it's nearly the opposite of that experience, upon further review. But for some reason, that's where my head jumped.

After "stoned" you triggered into a different state.

You be a human who's brain shifted into LLM mode (chainneling Markov?).

Or perhaps you're an LLM impersonating humanity.

I often wonder how much LLMs are just mirroring our own brain's patterns.

You're thinking of Markov chains.
