What do you think about ChatGPT?

Hype machine. It is a very clever chatbot, but it is still just a chatbot. Its funny when you ask it to do specific tasks, because its engine grinds out what it thinks a correct response is based on what it has seen in its training dataset, but it can't actually derive the rules of a specific field, even if those rules are in the training set. In other words, it is not a general purpose AI, it is a specific purpose AI and that purpose is to be a glorified chatbot. The reason its writing is so impressive is because there are massive datasets for it to learn from. Its inability to understand context is why humans will stay relevant for a while. It's going to be great for generating those pre-recipe essays though.
