Yes! This is a brilliant explanation of why language use is not the same as intelligence, and why LLMs like chatGPT are not intelligence. At all.

Did you say "sucks to lose your job to a manufacturing robot that lacks any intelligence" to the countless people in manufacturing jobs left destitute by robotics starting in the 1960s?

I did. Change is hard but it's hard to argue that we would be better off without that robotics. It does a lot of work for us and we can all have better stuff because of it. In a better world we'd be excited because it means we all have to do less work but the upper class just keeps finding more stuff for us to do.
