ah.
Ok, if it was specific to GPT. Got it. I was extrapolating the arguments to all AI.
I think the reason people are freaking out about GPT/LLM, is it is dealing with 'natural language' specificaly.
However it is doing it, forget all the arguments about consciousness. It is touching on something with the general human that they believe is specific to humans.
There is something about having a computer 'understand' and 'speak back' in natural language, that triggers humans on some level. It's something that wasn't supposed to happen, because it is 'innately' human. People said "it will take a 100 years", and now it is happening.
