I rather agree with you, but the interaction of the mind with the physical reality is also extremely important to shape it. GPT3 has no interaction with a physical world. Any formal system that cannot interact with something outside of itself will be intrinsically limited, for one thing by Gödel incompleteness theorem.

I agree about the need for an environment. The difference between GPT-3 and an agent in an environment is that GPT-3 only saw tons of static text, while an agent can design an action (an experiment), act it out and observe the results, drawing conclusions. Thus it can act in a way similar to the scientific method.
