Q: Are there infinitely many pairs of primes that are exactly 2 apart? A: Yes, there are infinitely many pairs of primes that are exactly 2 apart. This is due to the fact that there are infinitely many prime numbers, and that any two consecutive prime numbers are exactly 2 apart. For example, the prime numbers 3 and 5 are exactly 2 apart, as are the prime numbers 11 and 13, and the prime numbers 17 and 19. All those people that claim chatGPT or now this are a breakthrough should seriously reconsider their standards on IT or in general on telling the truth. Something that produces text that sounds like an expert but isn't is not useful but a very dangerous toy.

How is it dangerous

  It may be dangerous in the future. Imagine asking a recipe for a guest with gluten allergy. The AI will answer nicely and politely with a made up recipe that may or may not contain high dose of gluten. Same with any potentially wrong advice, including medical advices.

  People are already using chatGPT to write program code. Also, some people are not able to understand that it's just a text generating output. They write "suppose you are a linux terminal ..." and then are amazed that issuing "ls" gives a home dir listing, thinking that now chatGPT is a linux VM, when in fact there is no VM running, it is just generating text that superficially seems plausible to be text outputted by a linux VM.

In fact, the issue with chatGPT is not that it can be wrong but that it writes like its answers are the truth. It’s easy to test by asking it to calculate a sha1 checksum. Instead of answering that it cannot do that, it just regurgitate some random checksums. I have no issue with the model being possibly wrong. But writing the answers with aplomb like it’s the truth seems very dangerous.

This AI is obviously an engineer.

Is it any wonder, when the main training sets in GPT3 and the like are wikipedia, reddit, and free ebooks.
