He’d probably think what rational people think - it’s software and has no intelligence, no purpose, no meaning on its own.

Though comparing GPT4 and people taking the LSAT, GPT4 has a purpose - it was built to answer questions, whereas the people - I don't know. Also GPT beats 90% of the humans on the test. To say the humans are intelligent and GPT not seems a bit speciesist;)

I dont know man but it feels like we need to spend more on mental health care to cure people of their delusions of thinking and living machines.
