>But AI doesn't think -- it predicts patterns in language.

We've moved well beyond that. The above sentence tells me you haven't used the tools recently. That's a useful way to picture what's happening, to remove the magic so you can temper your expectations.

The new tooling will "predict patterns" at a higher level, a planning level, then start "predicting patterns" in the form of strategy, etc... This all, when you start reading the output of "thinking" phases. They sound a lot likea conversation I'd have with a colleague about the problem, actually.
