It’s deficiencies can be built around with other techniques, much like our mind isn’t a single model but an ensemble of various models and processes in a feedback and control loop. By not seeing that, people erroneously discount both its amazing utility within its limits and the astounding breakthrough it is in evolving a roadmap to the destination.  These last two years have proven to me beyond a doubt that we are very close to the AI people are disappointed chatgpt isn’t, while before that I had entirely written of AI as a pursuit.</text><parent_chain><item><author>__MatrixMan__</author><text>It seems pretty obvious to me, after using chatGPT for nearly everything over the last few weeks, that it does not have the kind of intelligence that they&amp;#x27;re claiming it does not have.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s just recycling things that other humans have said.
