Reply to comment by UnlikelyPotato in I made the Pacman game by iteratively talking with chatGPT (chat log included) by DEATH_STAR_EXTRACTOR

It can imitate an operating system, but that's all it is, an imitation. It's very impressive but it's a hallucination.

I like my language models and reddit people to not debate semantics. It can imitate to the point of letting you write a bash script that interacts with the file system, "run" the script, and the imaginary script modifies imaginary files in the imaginary file system.

Realistically, because neurons are turing complete it could be argued that it is emulation...just an impracticable and shitty one at times.

Yeah don't get me wrong it's very impressive what you can do in the imaginary virtual system, but this isn't semantics. I subscribe to the philosophy that emulation doesn't have to involve computation but chatgpt is far too inconsistent to NOT clarify the distinction.
