I think GPT tech in general may "just" be a hypertrophied speech center. If so, it's pretty cool and clearly not merely a human-class speech center, but already a fairly radically super-human speech center. However, if I ask your speech center to be the only thing in your brain, it's not actually going to do a very good job. We're asking a speech center to do an awful lot of tasks that a speech center is just not able to do, no matter how hypertrophied it may be. We need more parts.
