While it's humorous how personally you are taking critiques of, chatGPT, it is unfortunate you are also demonstrating a fundamental lack of basic understanding of how ChatGPT works. Because of that, you have inflated what you believe chatGPT is doing.
Even when it gets basic maths wrong repeatedly. Because I can tell it 2+2=5 and it will agree with me. Conversationally. Since it has no concept of what 2+2=5 means.
Even though it has no memory of previous conversations, you believe it somehow retains understanding of concepts it discusses.
Even though it searches the internet to provide it the knowledge to answer questions, which is why it can cite sources that don't exist or don't support its claims, clearly demonstrating a fundamental lack of understanding the concept, or even the concept of citing sources.
Even though it was literally trained by humans telling it what the three most correct conversational response would be out of the 5 answers it gave every calibration question, you still believe it actually possesses intelligence above any human, who can have a conversation without making any of these mistakes.
I clearly put chatGPT "intelligence" as remarkably low as is possible, even non-existent. I also must concede in this situation it is smarter than at least one human I am aware of.
If it can't see numbers, then it isn't as smart as your $5 calculator or the majority of the human race. If you can convince it it's wrong, it's even more distinctly less intelligent.
It barely passes as a language model and only passes as a conversational model. Having citations doesn't mean it understands citations. Having incorrect citations quite simply proves that it doesn't understand what a citation is meant for. It does not understand the concept.
ChatGPT is pre trained on a number of directories. All of them sampled pre 2021. Nothing after that date exists for chatGPT. That isn't intelligence. It doesn't possess the intelligence to understand the nature of its databases. And if you really don't think the databases it was trained on came from the internet, please show us a source.
It's continually entertaining how you continue to point out the substantial limitations of a language model AI and yet insist it's showing more intelligence than an average brain that's has none of those limitations and achieves more accurate and better results any minute of every day. And then claiming it understands concepts when that concept itself is not part of its architecture is really astounding. I can almost identify the exact neuron that's misfiring in your brain.
