Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Psalm 139:14 NLT
"The public release of ChatGPT on November 30, 2022, astonished the world.
Marc Andreessen spoke for many when he described it as, “Pure, absolute, indescribable magic.”
The spell was hard to resist. Bill Gates said that ChatGPT was “every bit as important as the PC, as the internet.”
Wharton professor Ethan Mollick predicted that the productivity gains might be larger than the gains from steam power.
In a seeming competition for the most exaggerated claims, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, proclaimed that, it is “more profound than fire” and Turing winner Geoffrey Hinton declared, “I think it’s comparable in scale with the Industrial Revolution or electricity — or maybe the wheel.”
ChatGPT and its competitors, in all their iterations,

ChatGPT and its competitors, in all their iterations,
--are still just text-generators based on statistical patterns in the text databases they train on.
--They do not know how words relate to the real world.
They are consequently unable to do many of the things human brains can do
--including assessing the validity of the text they input and output, -----engaging in critical thinking,
--and applying common sense.
Human trainers may clean up some of the obvious mistakes made by large language models (LLMs) but such cleansing does not give LLMs human powers of reasoning and understanding.el.
There will continue to be modest improvements in their responses (assisted by human trainers), but the identification of statistical patterns in text they do not understand is not going to give us AGI, let alone superintelligence."
