To be fair to your parents, I've been an engineer in high-tech for decades and the latest AI advancements feel pretty magical.

They feel magical to me as well, but I can enjoy that feeling while understanding that it’s just a prediction machine.
I don’t think the latter part can be explained to someone who doesn’t care all that much.
Aren't humans and animals just prediction machines with in built goals around surviving and procreating?
Plus it's a massive prediction machine trained on a corpus of the bulk of human knowledge.
Feels weird to see it minimized in that way.
