We come to bury ChatGPT, not to praise it
I’ve seen this argument over and over again: it’s just predicting the next word, it’s not creating anything new, etc.How do we know we’re not doing the same or similar in our brains? We can’t even define creativity, intelligence, let alone tell how it works. Predicting the next word is very much part of an intelligent discourse. What if  it’s all just a “computational guessing game” all the way down with perhaps a sprinkle of randomness added?I’m very concerned with the explosion in AI development but I don’t think we should discredit the tool because we think it’s dangerous. Quite the contrary, in fact. We should take it very seriously.
