AI is your new friend !!!
ChatGPT is not a display of "look how smart AI is".
Instead it is a display of "look how well AI can communicate with humans".
This has been a thorn in the side of AI interface for quite some time, as anyone who has "chatted" with an AI "support" portal well knows.
Interestingly you can "program" the interface to respond within a set of defined parameters, and command it to "stay in character" when it responds.
That's a pretty big step for "machine learning" IMO.
