I had that paper in mind when I said that. Doesn't exhibit a very thorough understanding of how these models actually work.
A common argument is that the human brain very well may work the exact same, ergo the common phrase, "I'm a stochastic parrot and so are you."
That's a Sam Altman line and all it shows is that he does not know how knowledge is acquired, developed, or applied. He has no concept of how the world actually works and has likely never thought deeply about anything in his life beyond how to grift profitably. And he can't afford to examine his (professed) beliefs because he's trying to cash out on a doomed fantasy before too many people realise it is doomed.
