I love the way that GPT is the first computer program that manages to make mistakes in arithmetic. If a computer can't even get that right, it's pretty clear it shouldn't be relied on for anything important.

There’s much more to human experience than conceptual thoughts - text

Definitely not my takeaway from it.

It's due to the nested secondary recursive abstractions of language...it encodes far more depth than we give it credit for and we respond to it subconsciously.

Let's avoid being over-categorical. GPT has mimicked one manifestation of human intelligence & communication: Writing. Text is the end of the pipe of a ton of processes in the brain, which include all kinds of neural machinery. The union of that makes us human and experience it

so many models are turing complete; the attention is all you need transformer model is surprisingly practically general, but so many things are *theoretically* general. i wonder how far along the practicality dimension one can go

Of the human experience of folks most likely to use ChatGPT. There, selection bias spotted for you.

Agreed. And while I don't know, I wouldn't be shocked if it's a yet more complete description than we realize.

nah

I think you might be the first human in history to fail the Turing test
