This is the problem I have. People are built to be fooled by this stuff - to see something that's not there. Pareidolia but with language. It's such a compulsion that the people who build LLM's see that the same non thing there too.
When I stumble around trying to explain my thinking though I invariably get hit with the response, Sure, but if it's functionally identical to a coin being magically pulled out your ear, what's the difference if it is or if it isn't? The only response I have is that when the coin doesn't appear you're going to be putting yourself way further behind the starting line then if you thought from the get go that there's no such thing as magic.
