Are you suggesting that ChatGPT is secretly backed by humans? That’s impossible, it is faster than the fastest humans in many areas.

They're joking.

They invented a relativistic device that slows time inside a chamber. A human can spend a whole day answering a prompt at their leisure.

that wouldn't be scam that would be a invention worthy of a Nobel Prize and be world altering beyond the impact of AI. I mean controling the flow of time without creating a supermassive blackhole would allow sort of fun exploits in computation alone not to mention other practical uses like instantly aging cheese or wine

A more plausible theory is that the training actually relies on a ton of human labeling behind the scenes (I have no idea if this is true or not).

Isn't this already generally known to be true (and ironically involving Mechanical Turk-like services)?

Not sure if these are all the same sources I read a while ago, but E.G.:
