What’s an example of something you’d consider novel?

I’m very good at creative brainstorming—but I have to say, this tool is extremely good at creative, insightful brainstorming. Just for a recent example, I asked it anticipate backlash to ChatGPT—to which it gave ideas I’d not considered—how could that be in it’s training data?

It’s ok to say “only conscious beings can be truly intelligent and machines can never be.” But apart from this perspective , I don’t understand the reluctance to declare this machine to be generally intelligent. It is an amazing accomplishment and I think should be recognized as such. Besides, the exponential growth in general intelligence is likely to continue for quite some time.



> to which it gave ideas I’d not considered—how could that be in it’s training data?

This is kind if like saying "I typed a question I know the answer to into a search engine and it showed me webpages in the results where the answer was something I hadn't considered before"

Obviously it's in the training model because someone else aside from you did think of it before.


But obviously it’s training data doesn’t include backlash against chatGPT!


Maybe not the first set of training data, but surely by now it does.

Or maybe it includes backlash against ML models, and ChatGPT "knows" that it is one of those.

There is no magic here.


The magic could be in the ability of GPT to produce and manipulate high level abstractions.
