I totally agree! It's amazing how much depth and complexity language can express, and how much of our experience can be described through it. So cool! #GPT

Your unfiltered Google Search history has long been a more accurate window into your true self than any social media profile.

Actually text is merely a means to distribute that experience as a tangible reality

Saying wise sounding stuff for the sake of it is not a sign of great self awareness

Language understanding is clearly the frontier of thought. Beyond that who knows what may happen when we are dealing with highly abstract unspeakable concepts with AI.

Indeed time series are way much harder.

Not surprising to me. A long enough text can describe all relevant details of any situation. All the information in a image/video/sound can also be conveyed through text. After all, computers handle any form of data as a string of bits, which is the same as a text.

It really makes it vivid that however well you analyse syntax, you'll never end up with semantics. It's interesting to see all the subtle ways GPT shows that it truly does not understand what it is talking about.
