It’s good at generating bullshit text, that depending on topic/training data may not be as bullshitty. Still, every single relation between the sentences is questionable. Try asking it some basic ass math questions and it fails spectacularly (with huge confidence, none the less)

Many humans suck ass at math too if they aren't taught it at all. chatGPT wasn't trained specifically on math but it can be. I don't see why it needs to be though given that computers already excel beyond humans at math.

Read this and tell me whether it's similar text: https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

I cannot fathom how someone can read that and think that chatGPT is just making text that is coincidentally not bullshitty.

Ok, it also breaks down quickly at simply repeatedly applying a simple rule (it has no problem applying it once). And it is pretty much an inherent problem with language models, no scaling up will help with it.

And this is pretty much a must for proper thinking, you have to be able to follow the train of thought.

Relax. It's not as smart as a human, ok? It does have issues there's no denying this.

But it is impressively smarter then you thought. You didn't dig into this thing deeply enough, and you dismissed as if it was some other generic text generator. It clearly is not. This is a milestone in AI technology.

You also have to realize this AI was NOT TRAINED specifically to understand the concept of code, virtual machines or any of this. It KNOWS these things as a SIDE EFFECT. It is also a nascent technology. It is the first prototype and there will be TONS of improvements on top of it.

This wasn't GPT-3. This is different. I hope you realize this and investigate further because a lot of people just skimmed the headlines and dismissed it as another GPT-3.
