Ha, ha! Seriously, it does not actually have any real intelligence or sense
of self. Future versions of AI may have these things, but this is just a
glorified indexing system. A researcher ran an earlier version of this on a
laptop computer which has no more intelligence than an earthwork, as she
put it. See the book, "You Look like a Thing and I Love You." The danger is
that ChatGPT *looks like* it is sentient, and deluded people may think it
is, and think it has fallen in love with them.

A beehive is a marvel of structural engineering, but a bee knows nothing
about structural engineering. I do not think the hive as a whole resembles
the collection of cells and synapses in the brain that give rise to
the meta-phenomenon of intelligence. Granted, the hive is capable of
behavior far more complex than solitary bees such as carpenter bees.
