Yesterday I read Wolfram's piece and he wrote:

If Wolfram is true we could argument that GPT-3 was successful in capturing an at least an important aspect of language. And if we also presume that language is part of the mind, then we should refute the statement that there is [absolutely] no mind in GPT-3.
However, GPT-3's mind, if at all, is not human. And this is difficult for us to keep in mind. After all we anthropomorphize everything and their grandsomething.
Even I catch myself having the urge to be polite to ChatGPT and saying thank you. Or, the last time I even told ChatGPT not to worry about something. I know exactly that this is just weird and incongruous, but it did make me feel better, so I just did that. YOLO.
