Chatgpt as a simple function certainly lacks ‘strange-loopness’ - it does not change its results based on experience. True.

But consider how it is employed in a conversation:

Its output is combined with new input and fed back in as the next set of input data. So the result of the function is ‘modified’ by previous experience.

There’s the beginning of the flicker of a strange loop there.

And that might be all it takes…
