Reply to comment by Kafke in [D] ChatGPT can't count by CosmicTardigrades

This comment just doensn't make any sense. AI does not think. AI does not talk. So what? You're still talking with it about the weather and it responds you with a word string that seems very meaningful to you. Actually I'm talking about why ChatGPT's ability is week when compared with a finite state automaton, a push-down automaton, and not to say, a Turing machine, but can still achieve such a performance in NLP tasks.

Think of chatGPT as a multi-task meta-learner where the prompt you give it specifies the task. It's essentially only trained on text generation (with some fine-tuning to make it more conversational). So you need to set-up a prompt to make it generate reasonable answers. It can't think or calculate, but by showing it how to generate a right answer in the prompt, it can leverage that information to give you better answers.
