What do black holes and AI have in common?

Both obey physics. Here is the proof.

A black hole's entropy grows with its surface area. An AI's entropy grows with how many different things it could say next. Same equation, different stage.

Drag the slider. Watch both worlds move together.

Black hole

surface area —

entropy — bits

AI next-word

possible words —

entropy — bits

More surface area, more things it could be. More spread in the probabilities, more things AI could say. Both are just: how many distinguishable states fit inside this thing.

Entropy is not noise. Entropy is room. A sealed answer has almost none.
