> The fact that ChatGPT cannot tell if anything is real or correct or not is not a small thing that one can hand-wave away I don't disagree with your premise. But this applies equally to human intelligence. There's no way to ever tell if the reality you experience is real or not. This is a fundamental fact of existence that we hand wave away so that we can continue to interact with and learn about the world. My favorite thought experiment on this is Boltzmann Brains. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain
