It concerns me when people insist that chat GPT is doing the same thing humans are, or even the same thing knowledge workers are doing, because it indicates to me that a lot of people aren't aware of conceptual understanding and reasoning and critical thinking and problem solving and applying those things to your own thinking through metacognition in order to self-improve and self-correct, and are instead just acting by rote and regurgitating things essentially from memory with a little bit of synthesis, when they are capable of so much more and absolutely should be doing so much more. So perhaps the thing we've learned is that chat GPT has taken over the realm of some things only humans used to be able to do, but even though it fundamentally is not structured in a way to allow it to do the more advanced things humans do, so many people were just doing those basic things that it took over, that they can't tell the difference between a human and a large language model, and I think that's really kind of sad and upsetting.
