Exactly. Guys like Zetobal keep pissing and moaning that ChatGPT is not actually intelligent and that its coherent and seemingly intelligent responses are just the natural result of how tokenizers work. And okay, I guess I can sort of understand that, but instead of deflating my impression of ChatGPT it's just made wonder if most humans aren't just getting through their days with the exact same trick.

If it wasn't the case, tv/media wouldn't have been so effective in shaping people's thoughts and opinions. It's not rare to hear people rephrasing what they read on social media as their own thoughts. Because it truly becomes their thoughts.
