How is that different from "Compact Discs weren't invented, they arrived"?

Point to the single inventor of AI. You're going to have trouble.

Maybe you give it to the authors of a few papers, but even then you'll struggle to capture even a fraction of the necessary preconditions.

The successes also rely on observing the failures and the alternative approaches. Do we throw out their credit as well?

The list would be longer than the human genome paper.

Yes and exactly the same thing could be said for the invention of compact discs. You're just describing "history".

CDs are designed to be exactly in the way they are, and you don't get out of them anything more, or different, than what you put in.

Compute and transformers are a substratum, but the stuff that developed on it through training isn't made according to our design.
