Reply to comment by Background-Loan681 in Is this imagination? by Background-Loan681
Does the human race strike you as the beakon of Reason? GPT3 is as reasonable as the best of humans I would say. Imagination and Reason have always been overrated, or more precisely, we enjoy thinking too highly and pompously of ourselves. Isn't it just as exciting to think that the Universe is capable of producing us, with just a tad of luck in the soup of ingredients?

Reply to What makes humans unique is not reducible to our brains or biology, but how we make sense of experience | Raymond Tallis by IAI_Admin

In a sense the how is not very interesting, after all when you try to do something all the time, you're bound to get good at it. But what was the motivation from the start?
