  At least a few of us remember TayAI. And to think this was 2016, well before "Attention is all you need" LLM paper.

    I was about to say that it feels so much earlier than that. But then, 2016 was a whole decade ago.
    To think, the main impetus was mostly to see if it could be done. And to show Microsoft why you don't expose things like that to the public. Microsoft said "She'll learn from your conversations" and the internet said "Bet"

    ...well, it did exactly that, no bet here.

    It didn't 'learn' anything in any shape or form at all, it performed an echo <input>.
