I agree, but I disagree about one aspect. For the most part, humans don't use reason all that much or all that deeply. We usually use intuitive thinking, and there is research showing that immediate intuitive responses are often better than the result of long thinking. More negatively, is QAnon belief, or even Trump election claim belief, about reason? Or is it about associations between words and concepts, especially when those concepts are believed in by the people the believer tends to trust and associate with?
In other words, the takeaway here may not be that GPT-3 spews bullshit. It may be that most of the time, human "thinking" is a less-nuanced, biological version of GPT-3.
