When the Drink button was pressed it made an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism and then sent tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centers of the subject's brain to see what was likely to go down well. However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.”

I think Douglas Adams was closer to the truth on the subject of AIs and tea. I don't want to be overly cynical but I suspect we'll just get used to saying "OK, close enough" when dealing with LLMs.
