I don’t know whether it’s conceit (“Humans are special!”) or fear, but it’s very common. “They cannot create!” Well, yes, they can. “But they can’t know anything they haven’t learned.” Nor can you.
“They regurgitate words.” Tell me a word you don’t know.
Aaargh! But the funny thing is, ChatGPT will argue with me that human thinking is different because we have emotions. I ask it if emotions are coming from our brains. It agrees. I ask “So aren’t emotions just another input source?” Yes, it agrees. “So is that really different?” And just like a stubborn human, it instantly cycles back to “Humans think differently”.
