I think, possibly, yes. However, if that were true, then it would also apply equally to other humans. The way our brains are wired might overestimate other people based on how they communicate? Well, on average, we probably do. Almost certainly. ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything except how to string words together in a way that matches what it's learned. And it does it very, very well. It's so good that even though I know this, I find it sometimes mesmerizing and amazing and hard to not believe it actually understands the subject. Spend enough time with it and it will fail spectacularly, but it depends on the kind of task. Stringing words together well is what it's good at. Now, the chilling thing is this - how many asshats have you run into that are exactly a walking organic ChatGPT? They actually know nothing, have no ability to do math or apply logic, but they string words about a subject they have "learned" together in such a convincing way that they are practically hypnotists. They don't know anything about the subject, what they've learned is sequences of words and phases about a subject. I've run into a lot of these. And even knowing they exist, it's hard to spot one when they are good at it. So yes, I think this exploits a trick in our brains that makes us want to believe what sounds good, and to ascribe meaning to it. And it makes us want to judge far too optimistically the intelligence of the thing based on how well it does this. It's like optical illusions - even though you know it isn't real, you still actually see it. The human people that exploit this trick either are unaware of the difference or purposefully pretend to be. They are the bane of smart, honest, hard-working people. They are frequently dishonest, narcissistic, bullies, and are high-level asshats. ChatGPT is only fun because it's in a glass cage. If it were your manager or co-worker and refused to acknowledge that it was a ChatGPT, it would not be nearly as fun.
