Yes, it just queries. I'm confused why people would confuse this with intelligence. It's like an upgraded Clippy.

I could imagine a philosophy professor with experience in Computer Science arguing that human mind is just a search algorithm - often times the human mind is just searching its training data for the right output (right, in human case, meaning the action that would maximize pleasure and minimize pain, both in long and short term).

Another way of thinking about this may be as a compressed field, where the "prompt" extracts knowledge along a given vector, along the lines of stored inter-token relations, which provide for the internal vectorization, thus reducing redundancy and enabling the compression in the first place.

I'd say model training is a search for parameters that approximate a function.
