I have read more than is probably healthy about the Chinese room and variants since it was first published. I've gone back and forth on several ideas:
Since the advent of ChatGPT, or, more properly, my awareness of it, the confusion has only increased. My current thinking, which is by no means robust, is that humans may be little more than "meatGPT" systems. Admittedly, that is probably a cynical reaction to my sense that a lot of people seem to be running on automatic a lot of the time combined with an awareness that nearly everything new is built on top of or a variation on what came before.
I don't use ChatGPT for anything (yet) for the same reasons I don't depend too heavily on advice from others:
I've not yet seen anything to suggest that ChatGPT is reliably any better than a bullshitter. Which is not nothing, I guess, but is at least a little dangerous.
what often puts me of that people almost never fakt check me when i tell them something wich also tells me they wouldn't do the same with chatgpt
