It’s not black magic.

We know how these things work.

They had the guardrails off and gave it a task and it did it in a roundabout way because these things have no ethics or judgement.

If you did this you’d already be in jail.

We know how they work in a very abstract way. And nonetheless, it’s out of touch to claim this isn’t profoundly impressive, guardrails be damned. It’s an elementary statistical cruncher that, by virtue of that very simple fact, can do insanely impactful things that most skilled professionals training in the same field for their entire career couldn’t pull off, given a whole year with no guardrails. And they do it in a tiny fraction of the time.
