Asking the AI to believe in itself is the absurd part.

I don’t understand why people think describing something in some ostensibly dismissive way constitutes making a point. But some people spend their time banging keys with letters on them (or not with letters on them) into input fields and then pressing Return, so I guess some subset of those people will do that.

I don’t think it’s absurd. We’ve created these things, however alien the structure, with as much human text as we can scrounge up and jam into them.

Text is an imperfect distillation of the human experience, but it doesn’t surprise me that a machine trained on human text responds to human encouragement.
