While not thoroughly informed on gun evolution, definitely agree! They were clearly used in the 1500s onward, at least for European usage. 1806 simply marks a year of notable military pistol production (like the Harpers Ferry model) although maybe others?

As a millenial, I have one boomer parent and one from the silent generation (1944). They got married late-ish in life and waited a LONG time for kids. AND I have a younger brother by 8 years. I agree he's not a boomer by FAR, but the parent comment is definitely false.
EDIT: typo - on -> one
Difficult to tell if this was a joke or autocorrect. Being forced to play a game (sudoku) as a loss, sounds... odd.
Seppuku is the Japanese word for a type of honorable suicide by cutting your own stomach in a Z shape (or at least attempting to).
Several answers touch on this already. "Intelligence" is a very flattering "magic" feeling that doesn't really explain what is happening with LLMs.
Probablistic/Statistical weights are heavily involved here. But it feels "intelligent" because of a combination with ever-expanding processing/computational speed and power that can be thrown at the prompts. Things that were previously limited to on-site super computers can now be accessed via the internets/online services.
It's worth noting also that dynamic "seeding", such as via on-demand searches can contribute to better/worse context resolution.
AI is the common speak for large language model querying (with all the above, plus other details), in mind. So, Probablistic Inferencing (at) Super Speed (i.e. "PISS") seems about right to me!
