> ChatGPT would soon do that for you better than you do it yourself.

Is that really what you'd teach your kids? No need for deductive reasoning, just trust the robot?

ChatGPT is certainly an interesting authority to appeal to, but I believe we as humans have a complicated history with authority.




>just trust the robot?

i already do it when it comes to the translation from the languages that i don't know, ie. almost all the human languages. Soon it will be doing other types of thinking better than me too.


For anything weight bearing, I really wouldn't trust it for translation. More than once I've gotten an output that had subtly different meanings or implications than the input. A human translator is going to be significantly more interrogatable here - just as a logical reasoner.
