It still gets basic facts and primary school math wrong:

Language models can't and don't "think". They generate convincing looking text regurgitated from all of the previous text they have ingested.
- dwaltrip 4y agoYou can call it what you like — thinking”, “not thinking”, or something else entirely. But LLMs and other generative models clearly have capabilities that we haven’t seen before from AI, despite their limitations. And there is no reason to believe the tech won’t continue advancing. How quickly, it’s hard to say, but it will happen. Personally, I’m not too concerned about skilled jobs being displaced, but people should keep their eyes open and be ready to take advantage of new tools as they become available.

It's an advanced / automated version of the "Cut-Up" technique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-up_technique https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-up_technique LLMs and generative models can create some impressive results, but people have been using it and similar techniques for more than 100 years. >> I’m not too concerned about skilled jobs being displaced, but people should keep their eyes open and be ready to take advantage of new tools as they become available. Agreed. Calling it "the AI Apocalypse" (from the title) is hyperbole.
