Comment on Are Humans Intelligent? An AI Op-Edparent

Comments

If you pay just a little attention, you absolutely can: GPT-3 is not saying anything. Even the 'lowest' humans are usually trying to communicate something when they are telling a story, or teaching you how to do a basic skill, or giving you directions.

you're right; this AI is no substitute for a journalist. however, I do think the "essay" compares favorably with some papers I peer-reviewed for my college writing seminar. sometimes humans really aren't trying to communicate anything; they are just trying to hit the minimum word count and get a passing grade.

Sure, as I said, there are human tasks that may appear creative but aren't.

Also, please note that the 'essay' is assembled by human selection from GPT-3 produced output (whole paragraphs?).
