You mistake our astonishment at GPT-4 as implying some slight against D&D; you attempt to minimize our astonishment by pointing out facts about D&D that most of use would probably agree to. Yet this does nothing to mitigate our astonishment, which, perforce, is about a machine doing a fscking bang-up impression of a human. This is like observing the world's first aeroplane and saying, "pfft, its wings aren't even flapping. Can't be a bird with out flapping wings." Yes, yes, we know. That is obviously not the point. Someone just invented flight. tus666, I suspect this is an emotional self-management strategy on your part. I'm anxious, too, but, in the words of jwz, you now have two problems, as you are still anxious, and must additionally expend psychological energy on continuous misdirection, whereas I just have the now-standard 2023 anxiety about x-risk. (Oh, and the astonishment. Kudos to the OP for such a brilliant demo of GPT-4)
