Frankly, not sure where to begin with this one. Some here have already pointed out how it can easily be trained to produce racist/biased data which is a big red flag to begin with. But am I the only one thinking about how this deep-learning, AI algorithm is going to render millions obsolete at the behest of capital? As has been the case with almost everything developed under capitalism , what a marvelous discovery that will in all likelihood be used for nothing but exploitation. And do I even have to mention how our leaders are geriatric and couldn’t regulate this shit to save their lives?
Unless this is somehow made open-source (and soon), we’re fucked.
It's not a rigid, preprogrammed decision tree - it's entirely probabilistic, inferring from training data. Still, 'learning' is too generous a term, it's more like... refining its predictions, getting better at what it does. It's getting better at rolling dice, but that's fundamentally all it ever can do.

'Learning' is a term of abstraction. "Making a probabilistic model of what tokens should go next to each other for a given input" is annoying to say every time. It's the same as when people talk about evolution as if there is design, people who understand evolution will know that when you say "this finch's beak is designed for eating seeds"... it's the same with machine learning.
