Raw LLM Responses

None of these players are researching "AI" in the traditional sense. They are all producing highly sophisticated "guess the next word" generators. GPT is essentially your phone's auto-complete sentence algorithm x1000000. That's not to say it's not significant, or disruptive to the markets, or extremely revolutionary, but it's not Artificial Intelligence in the sense of creating a thinking, sentient machine. There are ethical reasons to consider taking a step back and evaluating the implementation of these algorithms, for instance, job displacement could be significant. However, none of these things even have the future potential of becoming a self thinking self aware skynet type intelligence that could conspire to nuke the world--or that could conspire period. People are really losing the plot with these chat algorithms simply because they output text understandable to humans. But consider the "AI" image generators like mid journey and stable diffusion, these systems are in many ways far more advanced and complicated than the chat bots, yet no one is worried about Stable Diffusion taking over the world, because it doesn't output text, it outputs images. So people can't anthropomorphize it. Put another way, people freaking out over ChatGPT becoming "aware" is basically the same as if someone typed 8008135 into their calculator and then started losing it because their calculator must like boobies.
