Humans are somewhat a blank slate, and culture is our initial prompt. The variety of humans is because of the variety of our initial prompts, and our similarities are because of the similar characteristics of our various cultures.

(I of course recognize some of our intelligence is genetic or epigenetic or microbial.)

No, chatgpt is already trained once it’s ready for prompts.

It’s training is like weighted frequencies, predispositions, instincts. A giant word association machine.

Then whatever prompt it is fed is what it becomes.
