Dear Elon, Woz, et. al.

You're joking, right? I mean, really? We're not talking about HAL 9000 here. We're talking about an elaborate Markov chain. If you don't ask it a question, it's not doing anything. It's not sitting there and thinking. It's not devising anything. And when it answers a question, it simply steals from what others have written.

Oh, I grant you that the programmers were pretty clever, and that the AI can do some fascinating data manipulations. But not one unique thought will ever cross the output.

ChatGPT is programmed to generate text. No matter what text it generates, it is only ever generating text. No more, no less.

This is wrong, it creates working programs which can basically do everything.

This is some new definition of "working" that I'm not familiar with.
