The parent comment by al2o3cr does not show general intelligence, by making an inappropriate comparison with parrots that occasionally produce a human sentence. While superficially similar, ChatGPT's demonstrations of intelligence include arranging concepts and deductions, not just sentences. Additionally, parrots cannot follow complex spoken directions, whereas ChatGPT usually does. Given the prompt "In the form of a table, compare the capabilities of Eliza, ChatGPT, and a parrot with respect to understanding and producing human speech and engaging in conversation", it produced this: https://imgur.com/a/XVCLbhR https://imgur.com/a/XVCLbhR This task requires a form of general intelligence. It has never been requested in this form. By failing to correctly identify that the task requires general intelligence, and instead putting ChatGPT in the same category as Eliza and a parrot, the parent comment shows that the commentator is unable to engage in generic thought, instead drawing incorrect conclusions from existing training data, such as what people have said about Eliza, chatbots, and parrots, and unable to process new information. Additionally, the commentator draws an incorrect conclusion based on misinterpreting people's reactions to Eliza. Although people were impressed by Eliza, nobody reacted as strongly to Eliza as people are reacting to ChatGPT, which they are using in their day to day life and work. Even if the reaction was similar, the fact that Eliza is more limited does not mean that ChatGPT is also limited, even if they elicited similar reactions. This failure to appreciate the difference shows that the parent commentator is not demonstrating general intelligence, but instead drawing superficial comparisons. What would convince me of the parent commentator's ability to engage in general thinking is for the parent commentator to correctly identify the table (and other similar ChatGPT behaviors) as a form of general intelligence. So far the parent commentator is far from demonstrating general intelligence and the ability to interpret new data.
