Ha ha, and what do you think us humans are doing?

Only a small percentage of our output is unique/original, otherwise we live to produce very similar output to what we've had as input.

Common phrases, hell all languages are examples of this. Mimicry of behaviours; it's literally the learning process that evolution gave us that puts us (and other animals) above much simpler creatures.

GPT isn't perfect, but it's like a dog observing that you fetch the newspaper every morning and then it starts fetching it itself for you, then the neighbour is like "well, it's not _originaaal_".
