> I regularly see people moving the goalposts by asking ChatGPT to solve "world problems", as if asking a god. People can't do this, so why would you expect an AI trained on the output of people to just snap its digital fingers and do it? Because (some) people are desperately looking for a _god_ that will precisely snap its digital fingers and... do it. Seen under this prism, some of the reactions here start to make sense: "I gave it this particular problem that I thought up, and it made a mistake / couldn't answer it, hence I cannot trust it / it's just a parrot / not creative / not _really_ intelligent." It does not matter how many things it _can_ do, all it matters is that there is this one thing that it can _not_ do. It may be more learnt or creative than any single human, but it is not yet _omniscient_.
