Your comment isn't original either, it's almost always the same response if anyone questions many technologies. If you think about it critically, maybe we will find there isn't actually much use for ChatGPT outside of it being a pretty cool party trick. Even if it gets better. I think it pains people to think about it this way but if we have bullshit jobs, and now have bullshit bots to do bullshit jobs, what's really changed? Likely we'll just end up with more bullshit. I'm sorry but I think it wouldn't hurt for you to also be objective yourself when evaluating the system your defending. When you think about it this way, if ChatGPT has the answer to all answerable questions loaded into it's memory, is any of this really that impressive? Initially yes, in the long term maybe so. I would argue it speeds up finding the answer to many questions which I can find online, but I pretty much had access to any answer I needed already. My feeling is we think these machines are impressive, because we think we're impressive, and ChatGPT is doing something that looks like what we do in a new and novel way. I also get the vibe that we almost "have" to be impressed with it because as a species, we've invest a lot into these endeavors and I guess the thought of it being not useful it just as scary as it being useful and replacing everyone's work and crashing the economy of whatever. The psychology of it all is fascinating. I guess we all thought steam trains were amazing and unfathomable at one point in time, is this really much different time will tell :)
