Text prediction is intelligence. To be able to code a program form a short description, combine different elements to make a solution, understanding is required. The understanding is in the weights and pattern detection capabilities. Sure, some part are missing, like the capacity we have to hold a few thought in our mind, correct ourselves, remember the mistakes we made, etc. The same is true of NN that can differentiate cats and dogs, they detect patterns is a similar ways that humans do. In the openAI api you can see the level of confidence the NN has on each words it output, it’s just not exposed on the chat interface. I think the larger missings parts are by design, to give the system memories, agency, access to the internet, to programming would be careless at this point, but it’s happening anyway. I feel it missing our capacity to examine our thought, to replay events in our head to reprogram itself when the results are not optimal.
