GPT-4 can't play tic-tac-toe or do simple arithmetic. Pathetic, right? Why are people freaking out? What's the big deal? I was able to get it to play tic-tac-toe perfectly by having it carefully check everything before moving forward to the next move. It took a lot of prompt engineering. But I did it. And I'm not very experienced at prompting these things. (Btw, I was unable to get to GPT-3.5 to play reliably... it definitely seems "less smart"...) I was able to easily get GPT-4 to multiply large numbers perfectly by having it show its work. It's slow, but it does it. GPT-4 can definitely solve problems. We have no idea what the limits of this technology are. What will GPT-5 or GPT-6 be capable of? What happens if you use those models as components of a system that takes action in the world? You are being incredibly myopic about the core capabilities of advanced GPT-like systems. Right now, today, there are countless examples of people using GPT in ways that you say aren't possible.
