I'm planning on continuing this vulgarization series of "Simply explained", for instance to cover how computers communicate, keep an eye out for them! Regarding the speculation/destroy society, I was directly answering questions that I got from laypeople around me. The consequences on society I don't think are much speculation: it's going to have a big effect on many jobs, just like AI has started to have but much more. For the philosophical questions, I tried to present both sides of the issue to show that it's not just a clear "yes or no": some people will happily argue with you about GPT being smart/skilled/comparable to a human brain. Anyway, it's just an introduction to the questions that you might have about it.

> keep an eye out for them! I will, thank you! :) > Regarding the speculation/destroy society, I was directly answering questions that I got from laypeople around me. I get that. I think it's important in these times that we educate laypersons rather than froth up fears about "AI". It doesn't help, I suppose, that we get questions like this because some lazy billionaire decided to run their mouth off about this or that. Which society then treats like it is news and established fact. I don't think the speculation about consciousness is as well informed as the rest of the article. There is plenty of science and research about it available and its definition extends well beyond humans! Our understanding of what consciousness is is a thoroughly researched topic in psychology, physiology, biology, etc! It's a fascinating area of study. Best of luck and keep up the good work!
