Yes, and I don't disagree it communicates. I even went so far as to look up the definition of the word speak, and there are two that are relevant. One is a mechanical interpretation, producing english words, and the other is about feelings and thoughts. gpts qualify under the mechanical definition, but not the thoughts and feelings one.
[Edit]
And the dream isn't one of mine, the parent references "sci fi dream."
- Kim_Bruning 3y agoOk, if we agree it communicates in natural language, we're pretty much in agreement. Are we still arguing whether "able to speak english" is or is not a subset of "able to communicate in natural language", or are we in agreement in our entirety now? And there are many "sci fi dream"s of course, one of which is/was for computers to be able to communicate in natural language. (See eg: star trek, iron man)
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoThere's a third option! We agree gpts do speak in the mechanical sense, but not in the sense of sharing thoughts or feelings. I often think of the "Fool's Choice" from "Crucial Conversations:" saying nothing, or being emotional, when the best path is the middle ground, a thoughtful response. Something I am still working on!
