Really? Seriously? It’s just a fake, every bit as much as ELIZA was – just with a vastly bigger set of responses it generates on the fly from a vast database of stolen material.
If you’ve tried to build chatbots before, you’ll quickly understand how impressive LLMs are.
We essentially solved the problem of a chatbot sounding human and having reasonably intelligent things to say by throwing insane amounts of hardware at it. This wasn’t possible before now really.
The algorithms are impressive, but still naive compared to what people believe AI really should be.
This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.
This is just the best chatbot from the 90’s we’ve made so far.

Yes but it’s surprisingly convincing given how it actually works. It’s more impressive than useful, and it’s a huge waste of energy.
