You misread the post. He is asserting that if ChatGPT can execute basic programs, then it is Turing complete. This is true since you can make a turing machine in basic. Whether or not ChatGPT can "execute" basic programs is the crictical point of the argument.

This is not true. OP demonstrates with one BASIC program which does not implement a turing machine. It's then true that ChatGPT can "execute" BASIC programs, for at least some subset of all BASIC programs. It does not follow that ChatGPT can execute a BASIC program which does implement a turing machine. > Whether or not ChatGPT can "execute" basic programs is the crictical point of the argument. Yes, and OP fails to reason for that critical point in a way that's logically consistent.
