I get this question only on Hacker News, and am baffled as to why (and also the question "isn't this just n-grams, nothing more?").

^ If you look at this GitHub repo, should be obvious it's a token prediction library - the video of the browser demo shown there clearly shows it being used with an <input /> to autocomplete text based on your domain-specific data. Is THAT a Markov chain, nothing more? What a strange question, the answer is an obvious "No" - it's a front-end library for predicting text and pixels (AKA tokens).

This project, which uses the aforementioned library is a chat bot. There's an added NLP layer that uses parts-of-speech analysis to transform your inputs into a cursor that is completed (AKA "answered"). See the video where I am

chatting with the bot about Paris? Is that nothing more than a standard Markov chain? Nothing else going on? Again the answer is an obvious "No" it's a chat bot - what about the NLP work, or the chat interface, etc. makes you ask if it's nothing more than a standard [insert vague philosophical idea]?
To me, your question is like when people were asking if jQuery "is just a monad"? I don't understand the significance of the question - jQuery is a library for web development. Maybe there are some similarities to this philosophical concept "monad"? See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10496932/is-jquery-a-mon...
It's like saying "I looked at your website and have concluded it is nothing more than an Array."
