Human thought on one hand, is unpredictable. Thoughts are influenced by many things like emotions, surroundings, and past experiences, and they can jump randomly from one idea to another, which seems chaotic.
On the other hand, there is a pattern to how we think.
Scientists use statistics to study these patterns, especially in how we make decisions. Often, these patterns can be predicted!
So, while our individual thoughts might sometimes feel random, they usually follow certain rules that can be identified and studied, making human thought a blend of chaos and order.
So statistics is actually a good way to study the patterns of human thought. And since Generative AI is based on statistics, there is a possibility that we will have the same kind of interaction with a computer as we do with humans.
