No, that doesn’t follow. It just means it roughly looks like human thinking.
Your comment is akin to saying a high resolution photo of a human has basically figured out a way to replicate humans. It looks like it in one aspect but it’s laughably wrong. Humans thought without language.
- fsckboy 4y agochatgpt is only laughably wrong to educated people. it's sadly better than most people can achieve on their own. Even for educated people, the laughable part is only a personal quirk that they focus on for psychological reasons, but taken seriously a paper written by chatgpt is a good place to start and would save an educated person a lot of time in just touching it up to make it presentable, or changing the query to pare down its search for a better starting point. It's not doing nothing, it's doing a lot.
- kortilla 4y agoYou’re still missing the forest for the trees. It is doing a lot and it’s better at producing text that is how a human would write about topics better than many humans. That’s not at all related to being close to general human intelligence.
