True.
At the end of the day ChatGPT is a tool, it doesn't have the initiative to create say a program in C that does something.
A human is the one that brings the need.
This reminded me of one of the key differences in humans vs other animals. Even when an animal learned to communicate with a human(it was some kind of orangutan/monkey/etc), it never, ever, asked a question. It always replied to the human only.
That spark of starting off things will probably continue with AI.
