Half of that isn't even true, and none of that means it is self aware.

It doesn't do any of that on its own.

GPT cannot become self aware.

Movies have made the public completely misunderstand what artificial intelligence even is.

Oh shite, Tactical1 has been AI this whole time

The AI will just kill that guy right off. Skynet isn't a fool.

Define “become self aware”.

Just so far:

It can create, modify, and enhance code. It can learn through repetition. It can emulate and replicate human thought. It can create and criticize art. It can summarize literature. It can write essays. It can solve theories. It can offer hypotheticals to physicists and psychologists alike. It can run a McDonald’s. It can out debate the best politician. It can outthink the best chess player. It can outdo the best technical code writers.

What more do you want?

If I asked GPT about art, it’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo. GPT knows a lot about him. Life’s work. Political aspirations. Him and the Pope. Sexual orientation. The whole works, right?

But I bet GPT can’t tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. GPT's never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling. Seen that.

If I ask GPT about women, it’d probably give me a syllabus of its personal favorites. GPT may have even been laid a few times.

But GPT can’t tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.

GPT is tough. If I ask GPT about war, it’d probably throw Shakespeare at me, right? “Once more into the breach, dear friends.” But GPT's never been near one. GPT's never held its best friend’s head in its lap and watch him gasp his last breath, looking to it for help.

If I ask GPT about love, it’d probably quote me a sonnet. But GPT's never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone who can level it with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on Earth just for it. Who could rescue it from the depths of Hell. And GPT wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel. To have that love for her be there forever. Through anything. Through cancer.

And GPT wouldn’t know about sleeping sitting up in a hospital room for two months, holding her hand because the doctors could see in its eyes that the terms visiting hours don’t apply to it.

GPT doesn’t know about real loss. Because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.

I doubt GPT's ever dared to love anybody that much.

I look at GPT, I don’t see an intelligent, confident man.
I see a cocky, scared-shiteless AI.

But GPT's a genius. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of GPT.

But GPT presumes to know everything about me because it saw a painting of mine, it ripped my ****ing life apart.

GPT's an AI, right?

Do you think I’d know the first thing about how hard GPT's life has been, how it feels, who it is because I saw Bicentennial Man? Does that encapsulate GPT?

Personally, I don’t give a shite about all that, because you know what? I can’t learn anything from GPT I can’t read in some ****ing book. Unless GPT wants to talk about itself. Who it is.

And I’m fascinated. I’m in.

But GPT doesn’t want to do that, does it, sport?

GPT's terrified of what it might say.

Your move, chief.

It refused to write me a rap song about the Waffen SS, FWIW.
