And people play chess with computers, use Google Translate, etc. Doing so does not preclude the other. But that really isn't what is being discussed in this thread at all, which is simply whether computers will be able to perform this task or not. From my vantage point, I wouldn't put money against it coming to pass. As a personal anecdote, the relevance of which just occurred to me, I attended a birthday party recently of regular church going people -- no techies in the crowd. An older gentleman got up and read a story that he had asked ChatGPT to create for the occasion. Everyone was laughing. Perhaps it's a one time novelty. But the average guy may be more accepting of it than we guess.
