It is unsurprising to find wisdom in 570GB of human generated text.

It is unsurprising to find useful information being returned when a statistical process is used to extract value from those text. It's a similar process to how search engine work, except more costly and the result more natural.

However, if you choose to believe that the above process is signifying the development artificial intelligence that will start to have its own consciousness, then good for you.

Again, I'm not saying ChatGPT is useless or won't replace many jobs, it is amazing in its own right. It's like a refined and more useful google, which is huge. I'm only arguing that it is not AGI, will not develop into AGI, attempting to argue for its usefulness in other area is not arguing against me - no strawman please. As for myself, I'm not too worried for my job from this angle (there are plenty of other angles to worry about, that is), for with all tooling that develops, it benefits the people who could best put the said tool to work.
