  > ChatGPT just matches the most statistically-likely reply based on a huge corpus of internet discussions, it doesn't actually have any ideas Presumably you think humans have ideas, but you don't really have any evidence that humans aren't also producing the most statistically likely replies. Maybe we're just better at this game.
