It knows exactly what it's talking about. It understands the relationship of leaves trees and wind. It knows what a news article is. It knows what an interview

  Indeed. If you want it to fail then ask it to list famous people in 1976. Nothing special about 1976 in particular, but that was the first one I tried. It lists 10 people who weren't born in 1976. If you ask when a particular individual was born, in some cases it will continue with the lie and in others it will answer the correct date of birth. Sometimes if you rephrase the question it will get it right. For example it listed Mark Zuckerberg as being born in 1976 but if I asked when the CEO of Facebook was born, it mentions Mark Zuckerberg and lists the correct year. If you then ask it to fix the list, it will either list new people (all wrong in my experience) or make a shorter list with the person whose mistake was uncovered omitted.

    It makes some sense when you think about the unstated constraints. "List 10 famous people born in 1976. You have to answer and you aren't allowed to look anything up." If I got this prompt I would also just make up a list of famous people that seem like they might be 50ish.

    Makes sense, it's a language processor, not a database.

  I disagree that it knows what an interview is (or at least indicates understanding or what it might be based on the output). It's probably just following a pattern it has discovered via machine learning.

    Yup. I also don't understand what language is either, I'm just following the patterns I've discovered via... learning.

  nope. it understands nothing except the statistical link between a sequence of words and the next word in the sequence. read up before you lash out!
