> You misread the post. No. > 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. 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.
