In this case, once the model is released anyone in the world will be able to go to https://chatgpt.com/ and talk with that model.

That's not the same as talking with the person who would have made the proof, and it's hard to argue that's comparable at all.

  • The OP would never, EVER, have had the opportunity to talk with the mythical Japanese math genius over tea. Their story is a fantasy, probably meant to help the OP ascribe meaning to an otherwise scary existence. Which may be at the root of the anti-AI brigade's unconcious motiviations.

Likely will never experience talking with that model.

It’s probably distributed on so much compute that it would never be economical to serve it to you or I or anybody

It's still not quite the same though, is it.

  • It's even better. Then tons of people can work together with it on more problems. Work with it on understanding more things. Ask it about random stuff. The time of a single human cannot be parallelized as easily.

    • Claude has been used to build awesome things, but it’s not “speaking from experience” when I ask it to help me prototype a weather model, for example.

      It has no memory or experience of working on similar problems. Even if it made one of the foundational libraries that I use in a weather forecasting program, it still has no comprehension of the thought process it takes to understand the problem and build it from zero, and if I’m building on that library it just makes fresh assumptions about how things should work.

      It’s not a human with experience or expertise, it’s a computer program that’s really good at turning English descriptions into functioning code
