> Zelnick argues it's really just running a predictive model based on patterns it's already seen

Right conclusion, wrong argument. Brains are also predictive models based on patterns they've already seen. AI isn't human-level yet because brains have several orders of magnitude more weights, constantly train by self-optimising their circuitry, and potentially even use quantum effects to compute. Oh, and they have lifetimes of real training data in a human body. All that on less power than a 20" monitor. Good luck catching up with that.
