Heh, I think the opposite, it's very impressive and often surprising subtle, whereas I find this a typical dismissive HN top post...

>So asking GPT-3 random metaphysical questions gets you semi credible responses because those kinds of questions reduce to semantics and bullshit anyway.

That's the tech person's preconseption about "those kinds of questions". GTP-3 could answer to the same quality as Plato, Pascal, Hume, or Kierkegaard and they would dismiss them too...

Well yes, the poster was quite clear in his assertion that Pascal, Hume, and Kierkegaard are all either bullshitters or quite meaningless (reducible to semantics.)
