Excellent points in your post. You wrote:

    There's an incredible amount of non-text data out there still. Especially technical data.
"Especially technical data." What does this part mean? Initially, I thought you meant things like images and video, but now I am confused.

They might mean numerical data like scientific simulation data, sensor data, polling data, statistics, etc.

Schematics (of any sort), block diagrams, general spatial awareness (including anything related to puzzle pieces/packing, like circuit layout), most physics problems involving force diagrams, anything mechanical, etc. The text representation of any of these is ludicrously more complex than simple images.

If you sit someone down, that works in one of these fields, you'll quickly see the limitations. It'll try to represent the concepts as text, with ascii art or some "attempt" at an ascii file format that can be used to draw, and its "reasoning" about these things is much more limited.

I think most people interacting with GPT are in a text-only (and especially programming) bubble.
