It's a probability thing, and it's actually true, due to pure chance. Same reason it's nigh impossible for our planet to be the only one in the cosmos with intelligent life. It's also the reason that any finite number pattern can be eventually found as a series of digits in pi.

AI does not operate on pure chance. It’s a bad analogy.

A lot of it is, in fact, deterministic probability...

It's absolutely not a probability thing, nor is it true, nor is it the same reason for any of those other things.

You need to learn to stop letting others do your thinking for you. Open your eyes.

It very much is a probability thing... A pool of monkeys, smashing on a keyboard for an infinite amount of time will eventually generate all combinations of text possible. The longer the process goes on, the closer the probability approaches 1.
