It can definitely reach conclusions that haven’t been reached before. Sure, it’s extrapolating from what it saw in its training data, but isn’t that what humans do most of the time? And just because a conclusion we reached isn’t a completely new class of answer doesn’t mean we would say “actually, you didn’t reach a conclusion, you just appeared to”

We are not just passive consumers of information, we can poke at the world and see how it responds. We can do experiments. ChatGPT can't, at least not yet. We can ask questions. ChatGPT probably can, but it doesn't. But I will grant that the distance between ChatGPT and something I would call "real AI" is probably smaller than the distance between pre-ChatGPT language models and ChatGPT.
