This article is nonsense. It lost me at "understood it was about itself". It is not self-aware and therefore has no understanding. It is a word guessing machine.

I think everyone goes through the "omg this thing is sentient" phase with AI for a bit at first until you understand how it works. But eventually you see stuff like this for what it is; meaningless slop.


and then you go back to freak out because meaningless slop is smarter than us


are we word guessing machines?


Our prompting is a heck of a lot more complex and includes a lot of nonverbal input. Our reasoning isn't only in language. That makes us quite a bit less predictable. Maybe we're conclusion-reaching machines?
