How else would you produce words? Conjuring them from the void in an act of epistemic purity?

Anyway, the paper I referenced is definitive -- its the founding paper of the field we're discussing, even. I suppose I can debate it if y'all have specific questions besides "but surely it can't really think", but fair warning, I'll be treating the conversation like I treat conversations with people still obssessed with the hockeystick graph.
