Absolutely, and I hope none of my comments are taken in a way that disparages how amazing ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion et al. are. I'm just debating how humanlike they are.

I don't think that because it's an illusion means that its useless. Magnets look like telekinesis, but that effect being an illusion doesn't mean that magnets are useless; far from it, and once we admit that they are what they are, they become even more useful.
> Plus, different models will excel at different thing. GPT's model will excel at synthesizing answers from far more information than a single human will ever be able to know. Does it really matter if it's not identical to human reasoning on a philosophical or biological level, if it can do things humans can't do?
It only matters if people are trying to say that ChatGPT is essentially human, that idea is all I was replying to. I completely agree with you here.
