Clarke's third law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Most people don't understand that ChatGPT has no idea what they're talking about. It lacks it's own thought and heuristic patterns, and only gives you the most-likely response to your prompt. People don't know that though, so they think the Mechanical Turk is actually playing chess.

I mostly agree with the headline here. ChatGPT is hardly any more innovative than a Markov chain.
