It's funny how it's possible to simultaneously overestimate and underestimate GPT4 at the same time, vastly. I think that we just don't fully understand everything it gives us yet. The complaints of "well it explained this wrong" are over-emphasized. The same thing happens with google and with any sort of research. Besides, if you're actually being productive with GPT4, you're going to be asking it stuff that relates…

Is it just me, or this could be the future of actually paying for search engines? I get way better answers for search queries through Chatgpt than Google for domain specific stuff.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced I am basically just predicting/saying my next word whenever I speak.

But you and your brain are much more than the language-forming aspect.

Language is the compression of our entire human experience into words, so I'd argue language captures the majority of the thinking aspect of the human experience.
