> ChatGPT is telling us something about language or thought There is a leap from language to thought and Wolfram talks about it in more detail in the article in the section named “Surely a Network That’s Big Enough Can Do Anything!” I encourage everyone to read the full article. It’s more nuanced than “Language is easy” Here is an excerpt from that section: …But this isn’t the right conclusion to draw [certain tasks being to complex for the computer]. Computationally irreducible processes are still computationally irreducible, and are still fundamentally hard for computers—even if computers can readily compute their individual steps. And instead what we should conclude is that tasks—like writing essays—that we humans could do, but we didn’t think computers could do, are actually in some sense computationally easier than we thought.
