I have to say, this is completely the *opposite* of what i have gotten by playing around with those models(GPT4). At no point did I got the impression that I'm dealing with something that, had you taught it all humanity knew in the early 1800s about, say, electricity and magnetism, it would have learned 'deep representations' of those concepts to a degree that it would allow it to synthesize something truly novel, like prediction of electromagnetic waves.

I mean, the model has already digested most of what's written out there, what's the probability that something that has the ability to 'learn deep representations and learn to deploy those representations in arbitrary contexts' would have made zero contributions, drew zero new connections that had escaped humans, in something more serious that 'write an Avengers movie in the style of Shakespeare'? I'm not talking about something as big as electromagnetism but...something? Anything? It has 'grokked', as you say, pretty much the entirety of stack overflow, and yet I know of zero new programming techniques or design patterns or concepts it has come up with?
