It makes you wonder why Knuth bothered with an outdated ChatGPT version? He couldn't find someone with access to GPT-4?

  He wasn't that interested and probably didn't know there were two versions. Eventually someone did give him the GPT-4 version I think.

    Outdated? Two versions? We're talking on the order of months and dozens of versions. Maybe he has seen similar claims before and is too old and dumb to not realize how world changing this is. My take away is that he views this as another tool we are still figuring out how to use.

      Dumb is the last adjective I would use to describe Knuth, even if you believe that becoming old makes you dumb, like you clearly do. My advice to you is to never dismiss anyone's opinion just for being old. And I hope you lose your ingrained ageism before you become old yourself, otherwise you'll find old age intolerable.

        I was intending the exact opposite. Forgot to add /s.

  It was his grad student's decision.
