From that article:
>When GPT-3 speaks, it is only us speaking, a refracted parsing of the likeliest semantic paths trodden by human expression.
Which is only true in a very general, oblique sense; and one which applies equally well to human speakers who themselves once learned a language from somewhere.
Many other examples also in the other commentaries, for instance, the notion having a collection of a number of objects greater than or equal to 302 is sufficient to produce consciousness, as referenced below.
