I have used ChatGPT. To say that is is correct on all levels, or even most of the time is like saying that the sky is neon green. ChatGPT does not communicate effectively; it communicates quite poorly. It simply does a good job of hiding the lack of substance in its output. ChatGPT is syntactically correct, but it's rare to get something that is semantically correct, or meaningful, for anything but the simplest prompt. To put it bluntly: AI isn't intelligent until it can reason, and that's not something that can be learned from statistics. ChatGPT can say the sky is blue, and regurgitate a Wikipedia article about it, but it will never understand why the sky is blue, or be able to use that knowledge to answer a question that for which the answer isn't already in its dataset. That's not intelligence. That's just a very good search program paired to a wiki.

I don’t know why the sky is blue. Someone once tried to explain it to me and I didn’t quite understand it. What does it make me? Many of my answers - including most of this one - are regurgitation of information I learned previously. Many, if not most people just follow established patterns when communicating, with no deep understanding involved. Even that deep understanding is also pattern matching, where patterns are simply more complex. You can easily find examples of an ML model performing multi step reasoning to answer a complex question, just like a human would. I can google those examples for you if you like.

  You're changing the goal posts from what I said. I merely said understanding; you've decided this means "deep understanding," whatever that is. I don't appreciate gaslighting, so I'll be withdrawing from this conversation and you're free to continue your fantasy about ML taking over the world, like VR, blockchain, and big data before it.
