It’s an early 1900s theory with a 1940s application using a 2020 level of data. It’s not much of a technological development beyond how much we could feed it. AI researchers in my department are kind of pissed that LLMs are getting this much attention because an astonishing number of humans are so dumb they can’t pass the mirror test.

Almost all humans can pass the mirror test.

Interacting with ChatGPT and other LLMs are just a different kind of mirror test.

How can it simply be a mirror test when a large part of it presents information the average individual does not have?

Just to be clear, I think I see where you are going with that statement, but I disagree that it is nuanced enough to make much sense.

Yeah, people are hopeless, it seems, at understanding what they are working with with ChatGPT.
