    Are you suggesting that ChatGPT is secretly backed by humans? That’s impossible, it is faster than the fastest humans in many areas.

        that wouldn't be scam that would be a invention worthy of a Nobel Prize and be world altering beyond the impact of AI. I mean controling the flow of time without creating a supermassive blackhole would allow sort of fun exploits in computation alone not to mention other practical uses like instantly aging cheese or wine

      A more plausible theory is that the training actually relies on a ton of human labeling behind the scenes (I have no idea if this is true or not).

  Altman didn't actually do his job, he just let ChatGPT run the company.
