Marshall McLuhan predicts ChatGPT in 1966

Hmm, could we also say that Ian M Banks predicted Ghat GPT in his Culture series?

Or Maybe it was Samuel Butler’s 1872 novel Erewhon, the first known instance of artificial intelligence depicted in a sci-fi story? (Thank you to Chat GPT for finding that for me.)

Basically this seems a bit vague and is thus a good prediction for many future devices.
