What Is ChatGPT Doing and Why Does It Work?

I think not very far in the future we are gonna look at the belief that there is something extraordinary about human thought the way we think about geocentrism. That we privileged the human brain simply because it’s ours, because I suspect human thought will end up being not much more than something like a pattern matching mechanism.

Hundreds of millions of years of effort lifted a small veil from life's understanding of understanding, and it took 2 months for people to get spoiled over it. Good grief man.

There does seem to be something particularly cool about consciousness/qualia. I of course can't qualify that meaningfully beyond just finding it kind of awesome.

I believe that chatGPT is way beyond that level already. It is just it's currently used as "wake up, continue this text, die". But I think robots controlled by chatGPT and doing whatever they want (very soon) will show everyone that it has consciousness.
