Programmers know that those things are impossible - so we're pretty amazed now that it turns out they aren't!

While clearly there're outstandingly impressive things about GPT, from a casual glance a lot of the GPT stuff seems like a regurgitation of that fiction.

It reminds me of the joke about the world's greatest fraud; he didn't actually need to have committed the most impressive acts of fraud, he just needed to make people believe he did.
