True, it's not a great analogy because it doesn't apply in every regard as you point out. But I guess if you've used it you might understand what I mean... It's sometimes so hilariously wrong or self-contradicting, which reminds me of how children are always super convinced everything they picked up somewhere has to be true, or maybe did even pick up the right thing but just interpreted it wrong. I tested chatgpt a while ago by giving it some real world bugs I encountered in code in the past. It was really hit or miss, sometimes it confidently reasoned in hilariously nonsensical directions, other times it almost nailed it on first try. What's even more interesting, and what I don't see mentioned that often when people show impressive results, is that often times if you just regenerate an answer with the exact same input, you get a completely dumb and wrong reply the next time, or vice versa. So consistency is another problem.
