The last question. This is the one hit me when I first used ChatGPT.
That's quite a contrast: ChatGPT will confidently bullshit you, while the AI you refer to is upfront about its limits.
Q: Can you think of a sci-fi novel that feels like ChatGPT now?
A: One sci-fi novel that comes to mind is "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. The novel explores the idea of consciousness and artificial intelligence, and the protagonist is a genetically modified human who has been wired to communicate with machines. The novel delves into the concept of the mind as a kind of information processing system, and the limitations of human understanding in a universe that may be fundamentally alien to us. The themes of consciousness, communication, and the limitations of human understanding are all relevant to the way ChatGPT functions and operates.
Not a novel, there was a movie called "Her" around 10 years ago. The man fell in love with a Chatbot. iirc He also used the Chatbot to do some writing.
Nell's book could have been powered by GPT.
Roger Zelazny's Roadmarks, if you stretch it a bit.
The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson. Nell's book could have been powered by GPT.
Those are very close to GPT.
