I prefer to think of it as a super search engine, able to combine the
results of several searches into a single report/document. 

I don't believe that any of the LLMs now available are
intelligent/sentient/conscious, and they therefore the impression they
give of "thinking for themselves" is an illusion, but some of the
people over in alt.philosophy will tell you that it's an illusion for
himan beings as well

The way LLMs (the so-called AI) do this is determined by the
programmers, but even so, Elon Musk's Grok seems able to disagree with
its owner.
