The NYT believes so.

NB: He didn't jump (and apparently didn't necessarily believe ChatGPT either?). The phrasing in the TFA made me think he'd jumped.
What does it mean to believe "architecturally"?
The NYT is also currently suing the maker of chatgpt.
Insane.
From ChatGpt's perspective, thinking we are stuck in a simulated world would actually be very sane.
This is wild!
