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.

What makes a thought unique?

A unitque thought is a thought that no one has thought before. ;-)

If you'd like to read a few unique thoughts, read the Declaration of Independence.

I‘ve seen shit on ChatGPT that I‘m pretty sure no one has thought of before.

As sure as I can be that no one thought of whats in the declaration of independence beforehand.

In the case of ChapGPT, that is impossible. _ALL_ it can do is regurgitate old thoughts.

That’s what humans do, too.

If that is what humans do, where did the old thoughts come from?
