Dear Willard, Given the state of the world and academic life today, I read your question is a general way rather than a technical way. You ask: "So far, I take it, systems have been designed to mimic, based on their training sets. Is it conceivable given what we know now that such a GPT3-like system could be designed not to mimic based on learned biases but to deviate or extend ‘beyond the information given’ so as to illuminate these biases?” I often ask questions like this about human beings, particularly the human beings whose training set includes education and research training in today’s universities.
