>What the paper actually shows is that even intelligent people have a bias towards perceiving patterns in randomness

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but...

you'd have to provide a more rigorous rebuttal to be taken seriously.

AGI can exist without sapience and intelligence is a continuum. you can't just hand wave away GPT's capabilities which is why the sharpest minds on the planet are poking this new machine to work out wtf is going on.

human intelligence is a black box. we judge it by its outputs from given inputs. GPT is already producing human-like outputs.

a common rebuttal is: "but it doesn't *really* think/understand/feel", to which my response is: ...and? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what does that even mean?

I was just demonstrating its capabilities to a client. I asked GPT 4 to summarise a cloud product in the style of Encyclopaedia Dramatica, and it came up with a unique phrase not seen on the Internet when talking about auto-scale: “It’ll take your wallet on a roller coaster ride.”

What’s brilliant about this is that typically auto scaling metrics look like a stereotypical roller coaster track with the daily ups and downs!

That’s a genuinely funny, insightful, bespoke, and stylistically correct joke.

Tell me that that is not intelligence!

There's a certain amount of cosmic irony involved whenever someone calls LLMs 'stochastic parrots' or whatever.

How do you know this was unique and not picked up in its training set?

I searched Google for a few variations and turned up nothing.
