Human brains are at least minimally recurrent, and are trained on data sets that are much wider and more complex than what we are handing GPT-3. I have done all of these standard though experiments and even developed and trained my own neural networks back before there were libraries that have allowed people to "dabble" in machine learning: if you consider the implications of humans being able to execute turing complete thoughts it should be come obvious that the human brain isn't merely doing pattern-anything... it sometimes does, but you can't just conflate them and then call it a day.
The human brain isn't Turing-complete as that would require infinite memory. I'm not saying that GPT-3 is even close, but it is in the same category. I tried playing chess against it. According to chess.com, move 10 was its first mistake, move 16 was its first blunder, and past move 20 it tried to make illegal moves. Try playing chess without a chessboard and not making an illegal move. It is difficult. Clearly it does understand chess enough not to make illegal moves as long as its working memory allows it to remember the game state.
Hmm... but a finite state machine with an infinite tape is Turing complete too. If you're allowed to write symbols out and read them back in, you've invalidated the "proof" that humans aren't just doing pattern matching.
How so? The page you link offers three definitions[1], and all of them require an infinite tape.
You could argue that a stack is missing in my simplified model of the human brain, which would be correct. I used the simple model in allusion to the Chinese room thought experiment which doesn't require anything more than a dictionary.
Turing completeness applies to models of computation, not hardware. Otherwise, nothing would be Turing-complete because infinite memory doesn't exist in the real world. Just read the first sentence of what you linked to:
In computability theory, several closely related terms are used to describe the computational power of a computational system (such as an abstract machine or programming language)
