Yes? this is common knowledge.
Not if you are part of the AI-bros club. There is a reason Marketing agencies insist in using the term Artificial Intelligence.
Unfortunately, this is not common knowledge, as experts and Marketing Agencies explain Machine Learning to the masses by saying that "It looks at the data and learns from it, like a human would", which combined with the name Artificial Intelligence and the other terms, like Neural Networks and Machine Learning can make someone think these things are actually intelligent.
Furthermore, we, humans, can see humanity where there is none. We can see faces where there are no faces, we can empathize with things that aren't even alive. So, when this thing shows up, which is capable of creating somewhat coherent text, people are quick to Anthropomorphize the machine. To add to this, we are also very language focused: If someone is really good with the language they speak, they are usually seen as more intelligent.
And finally, never underestimate tech illiteracy.
Who cares lol they’re gonna do whatever they want regardless
No, many people believe that chatgpt is intelligent in the way humans are
Those people are very silly.
It wouldn't be intelligent the way humans are, it would be intelligent the way a computer is.
